Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

if any body could help me out to automate the unix script for finding some particualar files which are based on dates
like see every day i need check the TXT files which are being in processed and Sequential order based on dates

For Example:
files name starts at line***_201008250800.txt(Date format : YYYYMMDDHHMM)
so i need to find that they are up to date and in order


help me

Please post sample input and expected output.

the directory will i need look in to it is..../fus**/data/coll/ in this directory we will be seeing, so many folder which has daily processed files in TXT with date which i have mentioned in before
so i need it daily to get into it and check if the files of the particular folder is in the sequence order or not...
Input : file name from 12775048994_125342__***(text)_201010010800.txt to
13775048994_145342__***(text)_201011190800.txt

(Bold one should be the date format and it should be in the sequence like for ex: above date it is october 1st 2010 to nov 19th 2010 remaining all doesn't matter)

Output : it should tell this date is not present in between and from this date it is not in sequence like any thing which good to analyse

plzz can anybody help me...plzzz

Did you try something like :

Code:

ls /fus*/data/coll/*/*__*_$(date '+%Y%m%d')*.txt

or

Code:

find /fus*/data/coll -name "*_$(date '+%Y%m%d')*.txt"

(to be adapted of course, you shoud restrict the matching condition as much as you can)

is that it finds the sequence....right now i am looking manually by seein them that they are in sequence or not...

I don't understand what need to be checked (i mean, your sequence story)
If your question is how to get the bold stuff from the file name then :

Code:

F='12775048994_125342__***(text)_201010010800.txt'
a=${F##*_}
BOLDSTUFF=${a%%.*}

Code:

[ctsgnb@shell ~/sand]$ F='12775048994_125342__***(text)_201010010800.txt'
[ctsgnb@shell ~/sand]$ a=${F##*_}
[ctsgnb@shell ~/sand]$ echo "${a%%.*}"
201010010800
[ctsgnb@shell ~/sand]$
