Shell Programming and Scripting

i have my files and the variables value extracted from db is taken as

in1=slot0312
in2=best
in3=it is :veryliong/fine

as varibles..

i have a folder stuctures in my unix machine as :

/2011/hand_sl0312/best/HOD/file1.txt
/2011/hand_sl0312/happy/HOD/file1.txt
/2012/hand_sl0312/best/HOD/file1.txt
/2012/hand_sl0312/happy/HOD/file1.txt
/2012/hand_sl0612/normal/HOD/file1.txt
/2012/hand_sl0612/best/HOD/file1.txt

llly many more.

in2 variable values can be any of the folders names from folder /2012/hand_sl0312/ in machine extracted from db or /2012/hand_sl0612/ or /2012/hand_RI12/ ,etc

in1 values are all from folder /2012/ or /2013/ but here format remains hand_sl0312. so values for in1 is like sl0312,sl0612 , etc..if in1 value is sl0312 then it is to be searched in folder /2012/hand_sl0312/ and if in2 value is "best" as above eg then it is to be searched in /2012/hand_sl0312/best and in3 value is to find in that folder based on access of file in folder /2012/hand_sl0312/best/HOD/file1.txt .. i.e if file1.txt is acessed that day then find value in3 in that file . if present . then no need to output .if not present then it should be written in other file for output..

but this three values are compared by taking all at a time ..so for above example.


so in this example
in1=slot0312
in2=best
in3=it is :veryliong/fine

the file /2012/hand_sl0312/best/HOD/file1.txt will be searched for in3 variable value i.e "it is :veryliong/fine"..

if it would have been eg as
in1=slot0612
in2=normal
in3=alwaysdoing:verylioniseong/fine

then the file /2012/hand_sl0612/normal/HOD/file1.txt (found from all variables) should be checked if it was accessed same day then only for value in3=alwaysdoing:verylioniseong/fine will be searched


the folder /2012/ or /2011/ or /2013/ , etc should be choosen depending on value in1, i.e suppose value of in1=slot0612 then folder /2012/ should be choosen and if it conatains in1=slot0311 then folder /2011/ should be choosen . this folder is choosen from last two digits value from in1 as in1=slot0312 so last two digit is 12 so choose 2012 , iif it would be 11 then choose 2011 and then proceed..


this values in1, in2, in3 are extracted from database...so having a huge dataB..
unix code for this comparison is needed...plz help

i have extracted this variables from a database in while loop. so comparisn of this type is needed.
