Hi All,

im hav one requirement, let me explain my requirement.
my script will run every one hour and it wil pull files from remote server to my local server.but the d files hwich are pulled my not be in required format wht im expecting in my server.
but in my sever in particular dierectory i wil hav a set of list files, like acd.txt,zyx.dat,...
in which abc.txt will hav all the .txt extensin files in that list files.same as the others list files.

but the probles is file names will not be static...the file name which are pulled will hav some time stamp appending in d end to the file name but in the list files it wont have that time stamp in that list files.

some sample files which i pulled:
KI.P.PYM.NDM.MCSNGLCO.CYCJ003.201212.dat.gz
BADKI.P.PYM.NDM.MCSNGLVW.CYCJ002.201206.dat.gz
KI.P.PYM.NDM.MCSNGLVW.CYCJ002.201210.dat.gz
PX.P.D15.PXLV3015.VZ450.201210.adt
PX.P.D20.PXLV3020.VZ450.201212.adt
VGWNY0PN.FTP.MCIXP31A.SHIP.J12335.AUDITSUM

but in the list files it will be:
OV_GOLDMINE_BTN_*.txt
VZDWH_Opportunity_*.txt.gz
VZDWH_Event*.txt
ez_pipeline_VZT_D_*.txt.gz
sopl_*.txt

and finally we hav to see the pulled file is of required format or not i.e, it is ziped or unzip files
according to list file name we hav to do that to.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

So how is this "list files" is formed or created?

It looks like those are the master files which would select the files that were pulled by ur another script!

Do explain clearly!

Yes please! I don't see any connection between your set of files and your list, and, on top, it's very hard to understand what you request.

the list files which i am talking about it wil be fixed.
the list files wil be configured and it wont change

Let me explain...

> you have a file named "files.list" (changed for better understanding)
> you pull several files every hour from a remote server to your local
> you don't want the files that are not in the format listed in "files.list"

correct???

Answer these:
1. You know the format of files that you need. Then why are you pulling other files as well?
2. So after identifying the unnecessary files what are you planning to do about them?

> you have a file named "files.list" (changed for better understanding)
no their wil be many list file based on type of file in one directory
> you pull several files every hour from a remote server to your local
ya script wil pull server files and we hav to check those files across this list files
> you don't want the files that are not in the format listed in "files.list"
ya i want those files

1. You know the format of files that you need. Then why are you pulling other files as well?
no i dont know the format of files,i simple pull files which are present in that remote dir to my dir.
2. So after identifying the unnecessary files what are you planning to do about them?
i want those files

i hav to compare the pulled file name against the list files available in the directory.
but i told previously in d post
file names are not static so how to search the file names in the list files?
please help

Ok... Here we go again

Just explain on this one!!

Lets consider you download 10 files from the remote directory namely

Code:

1.txt
2.xls
3.csv
4.txt
5.dat.gz
6.dat
7.Z
8.log
9.c
10.doc

Now tell me how your list files would look like and what do you want to do with these files.
