Shell Programming and Scripting

In a few folders, the files are saved with file names as given below [ends with .dat] , in this case I do not need to cut off .trnsfr.gz and also I want to extract FILE_IDs from these files along with other files whose extension end with .dat.trnsfr.gz

There is a possibility of finding files that ends with following extentions, I want to extract file_id and file_name as you provided in your previous post.

1. .dat.trnsfr.gz
2. .dat
3. .aud.trnsfr
4. .aud.trnsfr.gz

I do not want to consider files that ends with .aud.trnsfr.gz and aud.trnsfr, but I want to extract file_id and file_names from the files whose file names end with .dat.trnsfr.gz and .dat

In case of files end with .dat, i do not want to cut of its tail end since it has the file name that I required. But in case files that end with .dat.trnsfr.gz , i need to cut off .trnsfr.gz

The format will be as given in the above post.

in 2012->04 ->08 folder contains files like this

Code:

 
sasmm_fsbc_durds_id00016763_t20120408230850.aud.trnsfr.gz

sasmm_fsbc_durds_id00016573_t20120401000754.dat

can you please help me out? can you give end date as 20 sept 2012 and restrics data within the range of Jan 26 2012 to Sept 20 , 2012 as well?

Thanks...

So, if you change the same line I told you to change last time from:

Code:

find 2012/01/2[6-9] 2012/01/3[01] 2012/0[2-9] -name 'sasmm_fsbc_durds_id000[0-9]*_t?*.dat.trnsfr.gz' | while read path

to:

Code:

find 2012/01/2[6-9] 2012/01/3[01] 2012/0[2-8] 2012/09/[01][0-9] 2012/09/20 -name 'sasmm_fsbc_durds_id000[0-9]*_t?*.dat*' | while read path

it should do what you want. I would have expected that you'd be able to make a simple change like this yourself given the suggestions you've seen in past posts on this thread.
