Hi Gurus,

we are planning to clear the old log files based on the year and i need help on this and i searched in google and i came up with the scripts but i am stuck with this.

(1) wroks fine

How many files exist in based on the extension

Code:

 find -type f | sed -e 's/.*\.//' | sort | uniq -c
   3745 txt
     45 dat
   1508 ds
   3745 rpt
      3 sh

(2) wroks fine

and i need to report how many files exist based on the year and here is the code.

Code:

 
find . -type f | xargs ls -l | grep -c "2012"
23
find . -type f | xargs ls -l | grep -c "2013"
1797
find . -type f | xargs ls -l | grep -c "2014"
3577
find . -type f | xargs ls -l | grep -c "2015"
3358
find . -type f | xargs ls -l | grep -c "2016"
323

Here the count of (1) and (2) differs and i am not sure what is missing

(3)

(4)

here is the code which i tried and works fine with the removing old files But i need to remove the files based on the extension files(.rpt) and based on the year(20150101 - 20151231) So i can track the counts.

touch -t 201501010000.00 older
touch -t 201512310000.00 new
find myPath/folder -type f -newer older ! -newer new -ls
