Found what I needed. Apparently there is a -mmin in the find command that will find files that have been changed any number of minutes in the past. This looks like it will work. Thanks for the...

Not sure what stat is. I am on AIX 5.3 and it does not find stat. I see the stat function in Wikipedia. Not sure why AIX 5.3 does not seem to use it. Any ideas? Perhaps it is part of a utility...

Need a little help developing a ksh script. Have read through Perderabo's datecalc routine and it does not seem to fit the function I am looking for. Basically what I am trying to do is find any...

I agree with Lakris, I have learned a lot from this post. It amazes me how you guys come up with 1 liners that sometimes take me up to 15 lines. You guys are awesome. I appreciate your help. I...

OK. So here is what I have. It almost looks good, but can't figure out why it is giving me the output it is providing.

Working now, for the most part. I have the columns aligning up as I would like. The only other thing I would like to do is trim the leading spaces out of the first field. I am using the awk script...

This has been edited now with the [code] tags in this posting. The output should look correct.

Thanks for the feedback. Still not doing quite what I need. Here is a sample of the input. The first column has 12 characters with leading spaces. The last column is character #36.

I have been working on a script all day and am having very little success. Essentially, I am reading a file and trying to format the data in the file. I am currently trying to put the data into...

:D Thanks for the responses. All were great ideas. Summer_cherry had the most compact code and easiest to manipulate for an inexperienced shell programmer like me. However, I did like all your...

That is correct. I want to keep only the last two versions of each file and delete all others. My sample output shows the results I would get if the script works correctly. That part would not be...

I need some help with the logic and syntax for a shell script (ksh) that will search a directory and look for similar files and save only the last two versions. The version number is in the file...

Rubin,
I don't have gawk installed, so I can't use the first one. I tried the third one and didn't get any results other than the same strings that were in the sftplist.txt.

On the second...

Here is what I have,

rev sftplist.txt | cut -d ' ' -f2- | rev | tr ' ' '\n' > users.txt

Thanks for the suggestion, but your solution still provides me the last field of the record of which I have to cleanup from the file. It's not that big of a deal to perform the cleanup, I just like...

New to awk and need some help. I have a script that I would like to make more compact. I want to read a file and grab every field, from every record, except the last field. The records are...

Not sure how to close a post. However, I saw a similar post in the related posts section below my posting. It has the answer. This is the first time I have used this forum. It looks great though....
