Maybe this will help others:
In
$dir the were multiple
csv files that were the same name, so I needed to add a condition to remove all but the last modified that matched the file I was looking for.
awk -F, '/Date/ {print $2}' "$new" (extracted the current) that I compared to the
date -r "$new" "+%m/%d/%Y" (these had to match) then the
$new was unique and the script worked. Thank you
.
