Hi ,
I am new to Shell script.

I got a requirement to get the filenames and timestamp into an array like below.

Code:

array=(Jul 19 06:10 file1-en-us_US-20170718T160150Z.json,Jul 19 06:10 file1-en-us_US-20170718T150157Z.json)

So as the first step I have downloaded the required files from remote server using scp .To preserve the server time have added -p flag.

Code

Code:

scp -p   username@hostname:/folder1/folder2 /home/username/json

Output

Code:

-rw-r--r-- 1 username domain users    17382 Jul 19 06:10 file1-en-us_US-20170718T160150Z.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 username domain users    20463 Jul 19 06:10 file1-en-us_US-20170718T150157Z.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 username domain users   493244 Jul 19 06:10 file1-en-us_US-20170718T163218Z.json
-rw-r--r-- 1 username domain users    36499 Jul 19 06:10 file1-en-us_US-20170718T170151Z.json

Following to this I tried by getting the required fields by awk command as follows

Code:

awk ' { print $7,$8,$9,$10,$11 } ' > /home/usrname/input.txt.

This works fine by shell commands.Is it possible to club the awk in the scp command and redirect the output to a file.I tried by piping but it is not giving any result.
Another way is to change to the required directory and put awk command.But cd is not working in shell script.
Please suggest a way to resolve this.

Please wrap all code, files, input & output.errors in CODE tags. It makes it easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed-width data.
