Hi
I have a scenario:
I have a directory say DIR1 (no sub directories) and have few files in that directory as given below:

Code:

app-cnd-imp-20150820.txt
app-cxyzm-imp-20150820.txt
app-petco-imp-20150820.txt
app-mobility-imp-20150820.txt
app-mobility-imp-20150821.txt
app-mobility-imp-20150822.txt
app-cellular-imp-20150824.txt

I have a pseudo code in a script something like below that grabs the filename above and pass it to another script.

Code:

 
for filename in `ls -tr app-*-imp-*.txt`

 ksh Script2.sh ${filename} &   à Script2.sh will run in parallel and consume these file and remove the respective file from directory once complete processing.
  
done
  
 wait
  
 .....
 ......

Issue: I need to pass in the filename to Script2.sh above as shown. But if the same file is coming more than once with different dates (for example: app-mobility-imp-*.txt) then I need to have to use them in next FOR LOOP pass one by one. So if the same name file exists more than once, I need to process the earliest file first but one by one in different loop.

For example:
So in first pass in the FOR loop, I want to pass the filename below to Script2.sh:

Code:

app-cnd-imp-20150820.txt
app-cxyzm-imp-20150820.txt
app-petco-imp-20150820.txt
app-mobility-imp-20150820.txt
app-cellular-imp-20150824.txt

Once the file is processed by Script2.sh, it will get deleted by Script2.sh. So in the next pass of the FOR loop the file above


So in second pass in the FOR loop, I want to pass the filename below to Script2.sh:
app-mobility-imp-20150821.txt

So in third pass in the FOR loop, I want to pass the filename below to Script2.sh:
app-mobility-imp-20150822.txt

I would really appreciate your help and guidance.
Thanks
