How about
ls -1 /tmp/test/*CH*NDMP*.z; ls /tmp/test/*EX*NDMP*.z | sort -t- -k1,3 -k6r

You say you don't have
date -d
Do you have the date command without the -d option? If you do, something like

$ date "+%Y"
2015
$
does the trick on my system. "man date" and search for...

Try:

[ "${#file}" -gt 7 ] && echo yes
Note the hash char between the bracket and variable name.

hth

Try tr , '\n' <file

Try 0?8

This will do it for you:
for x in `sed 's/^SUB_DATE = //;s/,/\n/g' test.txt`
do
mv /source_directory/a.$x /target_directory
done

# File test.txt has records like:
SUB_DATE =...

Would that work? Remove the echo if it does.
for file in *; do
if [[ "$file" =~ 02\\-[0-9]\{2\}-2015 ]]; then
echo cp "$file" /tmp/feb
fi
done

If you don't identify what is using the regular expression, the requirements will often vary. In this case:
CAR[-_]
will match either of these strings anywhere in a line or file or string in you...

Trying to infer your problem from post #1, I guess it's a case problem, as -iname is needed but does not work. Try assigning VARY with the upper case partial file name and then find . | awk...

Hello newbie2010,

Following may help you in same, I tested in bash.
1st please check the file names which you want to delete, if satisfied with result use 2nd command.

Have you considered a case statement in your script? - not to be confused with them entering the word case6 or CASESIX

Something like:-case "$ITEM" in
case1|CASEONE) # Do whatever case1...

I'd present the users a menu to select from; so there's no chance for mistyping anything.

You have escaped the space character twice, once by " " and another time with \.
Try
var2="X-0101 2-10-2013.txt"

Let's take this one run-on one liner and make it usable. Cramming stuff into one
line may be cool but it prevents doing what you want.

That is because of sed's greedy matching. It tries to match as much as possible. Therefore the first .* matches NC, and [A-Z]\{1,\} matches E
With the second command .* is forced to match the empty...

You got exactly what you asked for. Let's expand the replacement string a little bit so we can see what each of your three parenthesized expressions matched:
echo AB1234|sed -n...

gawk 'NR==1{ # For the very first line ( NR is line number )
for(i=1;i<=NF;i++) # Loop over all columns from 1 to NF (number of fields)
if($i~/FE/)f[n++]=i # If the field...

It goes together with the : to give a short-hand if-then-else notation.


# Set Y to 1 if X is "true", otherwise 0:
Y = (X == "true")?1:0;

# Is equivalent to:
if( X == "true" )
Y = 1;...

To tell read not to interpret backslashes, do read -r

Not sure if this helps or what you intend to do with the variable...
This is for bash shell
read -p "Enter string: \\" str
str="\\${str}"
echo ${str}

@RudiC
The OP has already stated that cat of the file works fine, so I assume he/she has a properly setup .ssh/config file or the user is the same on both servers.

This is far more convoluted than it needs to be.

for X in $(ssh kitchen 'cut -f1 "/lister/filer1/volz/camera/Pictures\ Lists/Arizona/Photoy.txt"')

done

The standard way is tr -d '\r' < file.dos > file.ux

Use mailx instead:
/usr/bin/mailx -s "Lists on $(date)" myname@compancy.com</tmp/list

No! It is not! That is the output of a perl command; not the truss command that I asked for:
truss -vlstat -tlstat ls -l $f 2>&1
when f is set to the name of a text file in the current...
