Thanks, I have decided to try a different way though. The way I am trying is:
find ./logs -size +1c -exec grep -l 'Process Complete' {} \; -exec ls -l {} \; > $TOD
I am then checking the entries in this file against a date variable held in another file and echoing.
However, I cant bring back files that dont have 'Process Complete' only those that do.
