UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I'm trying loop through all files in a directory that have a filename starting with 'CC', and process them one by one. Can any provide an example of how I could do this. I've started with:

if test -f CC*
then

#add files to an array

#loop through array and process the file based on the filename held in each array element

else
#print no files found to the log file and send email
echo 'process bypassed - payments file not available' >> jnls/process.jnl
head -20 jnls/process.jnl | mailx -s "Failure in process.sh" emailaccount
fi

p.s. it's on a kornshell

Code:

for myfile in CC*; do
  # Do stuff here
  print $myfile
  # etc.
done
