I'm working on an HP unix !!
I don't know which shell is it .. maybe bourne..

Do you have an idea how I can combine the FOR and mtime
or mtime it can only use with the command find ?

thanks

What output do you get from running the following two commands:
Code:
uname -a
ls -ld /bin /usr/bin /bin/bash /bin/ksh /bin/sh /usr/bin/bash /usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/sh

Thanks to all..

I used the code below and works fine & fast.

Code:
set +x
 FILE_TMP=""
FILES=""
 find *.sf -type f -mtime -$nb_days | sed -e "s/.sf/.sfd/g" | while read FileName
do
       FILE_TMP=""
       [ -f $FileName ] && FILE_TMP="$FileName"
       FILES="$FILES $FILE_TMP"
done
 set -x

Little shorter and little safer
Code:
set +x
FILES=""
find *.sf -type f -mtime -$nb_days | sed -e "s/[.]sf/.sfd/" |
while read FileName
do
       [ -f "$FileName" ] && FILES="$FILES $FileName"
done
set -x

This only works with ksh or a ksh-derived sh. Other shells will run the while loop in a sub shell that does not return $FILES to the main shell.
