Ksh: Read line parse characters into variable and remove the line if the date is older than 50 days
I have a test file with the following format, It contains the username_date when the user was locked from the database.
$ cat lockedusers.txt
I'm writing a ksh script and faced with this difficult scenario for my level of scripting. What I would like to do is:
Read the line from text file,
If the date value of this line is older than 50 days,
then read the line till before the underscore character e.g. TEST1 into a variable,
and then remove this line.
The variable will be used for removing the user from database. Any help would be appreciated.
