Thanks for your reply .Can you please please explain(step by step) in detail?I'm new to scripting.

*When i try to execute MIDNIGHT=$(date -d 0:0 +'%s') the result is '1512363600' . what is this number?is it the date?

*((THREEDAYSAGO=MIDNIGHT - 3*3600*24)) ..why we are doing 3*36*24?

*if we have 3 files selected in 3 days ,each file might have different string in line no#19 position 31,we should only select the file which has text ‘S A M P L E’ in the file.how we are doing this?

*And also can you explain this logic:

Code:
for file in *_*_*.dat
do
   FILESTAMP=${file#*_}
   FILESTAMP=${FILESTAMP%_*}
   if [[ $(date -d $FILESTAMP +'%s') -ge $THREEDAYSAGO ]]
   then
       awk '
           NR==19{
              if (substr($0,31,11) == "S A M P L E")
                 EC=1
              exit
           }
           END { exit EC }' $file

NAME
gr_plot_float - plot floating point binary date using GNU Radio SYNOPSIS
gr_plot_float: [options] input_filenames DESCRIPTION
Takes a GNU Radio floating point binary file and displays the samples versus time. You can set the block size to specify how many points to read in at a time and the start position in the file. By default, the system assumes a sample rate of 1, so in time, each sample is plotted versus the sample number. To set a true time axis, set the sample rate (-R or --sample-rate) to the sample rate used when capturing the samples. OPTIONS
-h, --help show this help message and exit -B BLOCK, --block=BLOCK Specify the block size [default=1000] -s START, --start=START Specify where to start in the file [default=0] -R SAMPLE_RATE, --sample-rate=SAMPLE_RATE Set the sampler rate of the data [default=1.0] SEE ALSO
