Shell one liner help
Hello,

I am trying to sort/get some specific output from a ls command but however I am having no luck. The command I am using is

Code:
'ls -al /nim/dr/mksysb/\*'|grep -e _dr -e .tgz|cut -c37-90|cut -d" " -f2-8|cut -d_ -f1

the error is
Code:
bash: ls -al /nim/dr/mksysb/\*: No such file or directory

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Hasan
