Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting to check redundant file names Post 47358 by mbb on Monday 9th of February 2004 06:47:17 AM

A different approach to this problem:

If you named your file correctly when you move it e.g. in the format

FILE_YYYYMMDD_hhmmss

where YYYY = year
MM = month number
DD = day number
hh = hours
mm = minutes
ss = seconds

Then you could move all files to the archive directory. When you want to process the most recent file do something like:

PROCESS_FILE=`ls dir FILE_* | sort -r | head -n 1`

If necessary you may remove unneccessary files from the archive directory by using the find command:

find $ARCHIVE_DIR -mtime 3 -exec rm -f {} \;

to remove files more than 3 days old.

MBB

CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options				      CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE - maximum file size allowed to download SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE, curl_off_t size); DESCRIPTION
Pass a curl_off_t as parameter. This allows you to specify the maximum size (in bytes) of a file to download. If the file requested is found larger than this value, the transfer will not start and CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED will be returned. The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger than this given limit. This concerns both FTP and HTTP transfers. DEFAULT
None PROTOCOLS
FTP and HTTP EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.11.0 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO
