I think I confused you. When I do this inmy script:

echo "Date: \c"
read xxx

I am expecting a date input, i will take that and look in all my audit log files, and search for that date and search for a failed transaction, if they exist i will e-mail else exit. My log entry is like :

2005-02-10 16:56:55 SYCCSSSS006010I1 46626 Provisioning Transaction Succeeded

ok that makes things clears, though I assume if that a failure would look like:
2005-02-10 16:56:55 SYCCSSSS006010I1 46626 Provisioning Transaction Failed
if not update the bold part below.

Code:
# one email per logfile
#
# Assumes you have an array of log file names called FILES
#
echo "Date [YYYY-MM-DD] : \c"
read xxx

for file in ${FILES}; do
    grep "${xxx}.*Failed" ${file} > /dev/null 2>&1 || grep "${xxx}.*Failed" ${file} | uuencode ${file}_failedtransactions.txt | mailx -s "Failed Transactions for date ${xxx}" ${EMAIL}
done

Code:
# one email
#
# Assumes you have an array of log file names called FILES
#
echo "Date [YYYY-MM-DD] : \c"
read xxx

grep "${xxx}.*Failed" ${FILES} > /dev/null 2>&1 || grep "${xxx}.*Failed" ${FILES} | uuencode failedtransactions.txt | mailx -s "Failed Transactions for date ${xxx}" ${EMAIL}
done

Thanks, but how can i do if i don't have an array:

echo "Date:[YYYY-MM-D] : \c"
read xxx

cd $HOME/audit
ls -ltr //list all the audit log files
cat * > file2 /opens all the audit log files and saves it in file2

I need to use the input date from above and check in this file is the date matched and also the key word like success or failed is there, if it is there then e-mail me else exit.

Thanks,
Gundu
