To fix this code you could use:
Code:
ls -ltr *prueba.txt 2>/dev/null | awk '{ print $9 }' > Procesar.dat

But this is highly inefficient and will not give you complete filenames if any of your filenames contain whitespace characters. The suggestions in your other thread today: Browse directory would be much better ways to do this.

Also, note that *prueba.txt will not match any of the files listed in the other thread. (There is a HUGE difference between *prueba.txt and prueba*.txt!)

That's really bad because my terminal gets full of unwanted messages, so I use "bin file & >/dev/null"... (1 Reply)
