Count the number of files to delete doesnt match
Good evening, need your help please

Need to delete certain files before octobre 1 2016, so need to know how many files im going to delete, for instance

Code:
ls -lrt file_20160*.lis!wc -l

but using grep -c to another file called bplist which contains the list of all files backed up doesn match the count

Code:
grep -c file_20160 bplist.txt

the first query gives me 568 files and the second query returns 1120 records-

So before deleting ive got to make sure ive got the right amount of files to delete, so waht am i doing wrong.

After matching the amount of files to delete i need to add a new file

1 using grep to bplist.txt to clasify files to delete this way:


Code:
for file in $(ls -lrt file_20160*.lis!awk '{print $9}')
do
grep $file bplist.txt >>filetodelete.txt
done

is any better and faster way to do that ?


Id appreciate your help in adavnced
