UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

I sincerely apologize for trying to tell you how to access standard grep -Fx behavior on Solaris systems. Since that was what you were using in your post, I assumed that that was what you wanted. Your script used the command:

Code:

    grep  -Fx -- "$Archivo" List-prosclbt00c-xpbatch-01112016_Q607965_nd.txt

and failed with diagnostics saying that the grep utility you had invoked didn't recognize the -F and -x options. The command grep -F can be replaced by fgrep, but if the grep in your $PATH doesn't recognize -x, fgrep isn't likely to either. But, /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -Fx should work IF AND ONLY IF the other operands you supply make sense. So, if $Archivo expands to the name of a regular file that appears in the file List-prosclbt00c-xpbatch-01112016_Q607965_nd.txt as an entire line of text with no other characters on that line, then your command makes sense and should print the expansion of $Archivo if that filename appears as an entire line in that file. But, the contents of the file you showed us in post #5 seems to be a perverted list of absolute pathnames of files sorted with keys being the file mode, the file owner, the file group, the file size, the file last modification time's abbreviated month, the file last modification time's day-of-month, the file last modification time's (hour and minute) or (year), and the file's absolute pathname. But, the pattern you are looking for in this file is the last component of a pathname (which can never happen).

If you are looking for files that might match what is in a file like you showed us in post #5, you might want to try something more like:

Code:

printf '.*/%s\n' log_HistoricoRecargas??062016*.log |
    /usr/xpg4/bin/grep  -xf - List-prosclbt00c-xpbatch-01112016_Q607965_nd.txt > Archivotodelete.txt

Note that we are not looking for fixed strings; we are looking for a filename at the end of a line containing other text (so we don't use fgrep and we don't use grep -F). Since the filenames you're looking for contain <period>s, there is a chance that there will be false matches, but I will make the wild assumption that if you're looking for a file with a name like log_HistoricoRecargas12062016sometext.log it would be unlikely that you would also have a file named log_HistoricoRecargas12062016othertextXlog where sometext followed by a <period> and othertextX are arbitrary but different strings.
