Hello apmcd47,
Thank you for your post.

All the files in the directory start with mRefresh_
The timestamp doesn't matter to me in my script.
The order doesn't matter to me because I just need...

I wonder if I look at this a little differently.

If I know the name of the last .x file, does it make it easier if I look for all the file names created after that last .x file?

for x in $(ls -r A[0-9]* | awk '/x$/ {exit} 1'); do echo $x; done

But I got the following error:

Everyday I have to get a list of files in a directory with a special condition and feed this list to a for loop to be processed. Since I do not use Unix all the time, it is tricky for me to get that...

I don't use Unix a lot so I was just wondering if it can be done.

I tried this and it failed miserably.

m=${`ls -1| tail -n 1`%.abc}

Hello,
I have the following code. I wonder if it can be combined into 1 command.

y=`ls -1| tail -n 1`
m=${y%.abc}


Thank you.

When I was started testing, the grep ... was put after the done. As a result, I only saw the grep results without the filenames so it appeared the filenames were "missing". I added the >&1 to make...

I want to thank you all again for the replies. When I first read your comments about the standout output issues, I really didn't understand what you were talking about. Today I had to use the grep...

I tried both methods from Robin and they both worked. I see the file names and the grep results following each file name.

I tried Don's suggestion echo "folder1/folder2 files in $targz...". That...

Thank you, Robin.

I tried both examples you provided and they both list the folder content. The only issue is both examples only print out the results without displaying the input file name so I...

Need help in piping commands using xargs

I have several .tar.gz files that I need to list the folder content in a subdirectory.

I need to run the spawn command but when I typed it in, I got
"ksh: spawn: not found".

So, I downloaded spawn-fcgi but it required to be compiled first. The compile failed when I tried it. I...

On the command, when I type in certain commands, they will display a prompt waiting for some input. When I type in the requested input, it will display the info I requested.

For example, if I...

Great! That works. Thanks a bunch.

I need to grep for any word that starts with a string on every line. The expression I use keeps returning words that have the string. I don't want to use ^ in the expression because it only...

In our file system, the SGID for a directory is set right now. Any new files created in this directory will automatically be assigned the same group from the parent directory.

Is there a way to...

Thanks. That works.

In my ksh script, if the conditions of a if statement are true, then do nothing; otherwise, execute some commands.

How do I write the "do nothing" statement in the following example?

Example:

Yes, I know that's simple. I know how to get the name once I have a user id. My problem is I need to somehow scan thru the comma delimited user id list and retrieve one id at a time so that I can...

Yup, that works.

Now that I have the report, my boss added a new requirement. He wants the user ID and the user's real name on the same line.

Any idea?

Thanks.

To all,
I need to find a group in /etc/group and if found, I need to list out all the login ids for that group - one login id per line.

To find the list of user login ids for group X, I probably...
