Question grep from a script...
This is an extract from a script that i am trying to run.

for tim in "2005:00:" "2005:01:" "2005:02:" "2005:03:" "2005:04:" "2005:05:"; do

FormString="$tim"
echo "grep '$FormString' access.10Aug-1201AM"
count=`grep "$FormString" access.10Aug-1201AM | wc -l`
echo " Time : $tim Count : $count"
done

but whn i execute this i get an error
grep '2005:00:' access.10Aug-1201AM
grep: can't open access.10Aug-1201AM
0
.
.
but if i am executing this command manually
grep '2005:00:' access.10Aug-1201AM
i get a count

why is this not working whn executed thru the script??

Any inputs??

Thanks in advance..

NAME

       finddup - Find identical files and do something with them

       -h, --help
	      a short help

       --version
	      the version (CVS) of the program

       -n, --noaction
	      do just nothing, just print out (implies -v)

       -v, --verbose
	      just what the name says

       -q, --quiet
	      be quiet

       -l, --link
	      link the identical files together

       -o, --oldresult

       -i, --ignore-perms
	      Don't check that file owner and permissions match

       -d, --dir
	      Define the dir to check (you may specify more than one)

DESCRIPTION

       finddup search the working directory and all files below on the same partition for duplicate files.

       finddup can optional hardlink such files to save space.

       Files size 0 will not be reported or hardlinked as this might give problemes later.

       This is a complete rewrite of the finddup in perl to handle several issues:

	 - Allow spaces and other characters in filenames

	 - be faster

	 - include nodup in same script

	 - Handle files that already have other hardlinks in the same tree

	 - Several improvements

       If started as nodup or nodup.pl the script will act like started with options --link and --oldresult
