Need help in a small script

Hi all,

I have a file of the following format -

EXPRPT:SCN:1.1706E+10:SEQ_START:121652:SEQ_END:121664:0
( This file name is variable and changes daily)

Now in the same directory I have another set of files of the format -

EXPRPT.log.0001.0000121669

Now what I am trying to do is to

1. Parse the first file name and Get the number 121652 from the first file and then DELETE all the files of type EXPRPT.log.* where 6-7 digits of EXPRPT.log.* are lesser than number extracted from first file.

For example -

Let us say the following files are there -

EXPRPT.log.0001.0000121649
EXPRPT.log.0001.0000121651
EXPRPT.log.0001.0000121669
EXPRPT.log.0001.0000121670

Then only following files should be deleted as number 121652 is higher than numbers in these files.

EXPRPT.log.0001.0000121649
EXPRPT.log.0001.0000121651

Thanks for all your help.
Regards

NAME
sysstat - sysstat configuration file. DESCRIPTION
This file is read by sa1(8) and sa2(8) shell scripts from the sysstat's set of tools. It consists of a sequence of shell variable assign- ments used to configure sysstat logging. The variables and their meanings are: HISTORY The number of days during which a daily data file or a report should be kept. Data files or reports older than this number of days will be removed by the sa2(8) shell script. COMPRESSAFTER Number of days after which daily data files are to be compressed, either by gzip or bzip2. SADC_OPTIONS Options that should be passed to sadc(8). With these options (see sadc(8) manual page), you can select some additional data which are going to be saved in daily data files. These options are used only when a new data file is created. They will be ignored with an already existing one. FILES
