Program to search for the files with specific format
Hi All,

Your help on the below requirement is highly appreciated.
I am building a program which should pick the file from a source directory and place them into target directory. While selecting the file in source it should look for some pattern in the file name.

Ex:
File Name 1: ABC_I_05032017140330
File Name 2: ABC_I_07032017140340
File Name 3: ABC_I_07032017140312

All the above files are stored under same directory. My search should be like File name which starts with 'ABC' and File name contains '_I_' and the last part of the file is time stamp, My program have parameter to select the date range. so the search criteria should be like within that range, ex : Files which created between 07032017140340 and 07032017140312.

I tried to do with find command but could not get any idea like how to proceed with all the logic with loop. I do not want to loop all the files as we will not archive this source direcotory

Code:
echo "Program Begin" 

for file in `find . -type f -name "*_I_*`
do
 echo "Inside Loop" $file
 # Process file
 if [ -f "$file" ]; then
 echo "File Name=" $file 
 fi
done

echo "Program End"

Please help.

Thanks
Bharat

xtappsetfallbackresources

XtAppSetFallbackResources(3)					   XT FUNCTIONS 				      XtAppSetFallbackResources(3)

NAME

       XtAppSetFallbackResources - set fallback resources

SYNTAX

       void XtAppSetFallbackResources(XtAppContext app_context, String* specification_list);

ARGUMENTS

       app_context
		 Specifies the application context.

       specification_list
		 Specifies a NULL-terminated list of resource specifications to pre-load the database, or NULL.

DESCRIPTION

       Each entry in specification_list points to a string in the format XrmPutLineResource.  following a call to XtAppSetFallbackResources, when
       a resource database is being created for a particular screen and the Intrinsics are not able to find or read an application-specific class
       resource file and if specification_list is not NULL the resource specification in specification_list will be merged into the screen
       resource database in place of the application-specific class resource file.  XtAppSetFallbackResources is not required to copy specifica-
       tion_list; the caller must ensure that the contents of the list and the strings addressed by the list remain valid until all displays are
       initialized or until XtAppSetFallbackResources is called again. The value NULL for specification_list removes any previous fallback
       resource specification for the application context.  The intended use for fallback resources is to provide a minimal number of resources
       that will make the application usable (or at least terminate with helpful diagnostic messages) when some problem exists in finding and
       loading the application defaults file.
