Hi friends,

this is my first mail you all.
i need to write a shell script which will check a directory /home/foo/work to find work3x.3.5.32.29.STARTED, this directory has lot of files with prefix .STARTED. the file may be of any name.

the script will search all the files ending with .STARTED, and will print in a format: work3x 3.5.32.29 as an example.

thanks & Regards

Rahul

Dear Frien following script will help you to solve problem

clear
path=/home/foo/work
cd $path
DISPLAY=`ls -al | grep ".STARTED" |wc -l`
if [ $DISPLAY = "0" ]
then
echo "There is no *.STARTED Files"
else
echo
until [ $DISPLAY -lt "0" ]
do
SHOW=` ls -al | grep ".STARTED" | awk {'print $9'} | head -$DISPLAY | tail -1 `
echo $SHOW
DISPLAY=`expr $DISPLAY - 1 `
done
fi
