gzip selected files that do not contain the string...
Solaris 10

Hi All,

Can anyone give me a simple way of gzipping select files that end with *.dmp and where the filename does not contain the string "nocompress"

I had a go but failed miserably :-(

Thanks in advance

Code:
find . -type f \( -name '*.dmp' -a ! -name '*nocompress*' \) | xargs gzip

Code:
for f in *.dmp; do
    case $f in
        *nocompress*) continue;;
    esac
    <your gzip command here>
done

the 1 liner find command works for me as my script uses the find command extensively. very powerful.

cheers
