Hello erin00,

Could you please try following and let me know if this helps.

cat script.ksh
echo $1 | awk -F ':' '{match($0,/[0-2][0-4]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]/);A=substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH);if(A...

Convert the time stamp into number of seconds from epoch and then its a simple numerical comparison. Doing so is left as an exercise to the OP :-)

Shell scripting has no concept of GOTO.

Try using functions for your "yes/no" results and run your "case" routine inside a "while"
loop remembering to call you functions...
Example:-
yes()
{
...

while [ 1 ]
do
echo "yes or no?"
read ans
case $ans in
[yY]es)
echo "yes"
# more statements
break
;;

It depends on the command used to create the tar archive. If
tar tf tar_file.tar | grep filename

produces something like: ./filename or ./dir1/dir2/filename then if you use EXACTLY what tar tf...

[ -f /dev/myfolder/someword*Oct\ 02* ]

files=`
ls -lrt /dev/myfolder/someword* | grep "Oct 02" |
awk '{print $9}'
`
if [ -n "$files" ]
then
echo "$files"
else

#! /bin/bash

OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS='-'

read x y z
echo "$x $y $z"

IFS=$OLDIFS

If you are not replacing - with space then the below will work.
x=$(echo $1|cut -d'-' -f1)
y=$(echo $1|cut -d'-' -f2)
z=$(echo $1|cut -d'-' -f3)

If you're using sed to get rid of the minus signs, the date string must be in a file. Try:
IFS='-' read X Y Z < date_file
printf '$X=%s\n$Y=%s\n$Z=%s\n' "$X" "$Y" "$Z"
Note that you don't need to...
