Oh !!! Why ls -l | grep *.sh when you can do ls -l *.sh. That should show you whether there are any .sh files.

You could try

Code:
ls -l | grep "Nov 3"

If nothing turns up, then probably there is not file from that day.

You should minimally say what the error message is there are any. Or what you are expecting and you are actually got. Cant proceed further, without any clues from your side.

So strange... OK, let's make a check list Smilie :
* ls -l /usr/bin/grep (or wherever it is)
* whoami
* file /usr/bin/grep (or wherever it is)
* try with awk: ls -l | awk '/Nov 3/ {print}'
* And of course, as vino says, any error text would be appreciated.
And show us the results, please.
Regards.
