Bong, I was able to use your method. Here is the final product. It figures out if files are older than 60 days and deletes them if they are (thanks again). Works great: package geacProcessPackage; import java.io.*; final class cleanArchive { static boolean cleanFiles(File directory...

Bong, This worked fine to compile thanks. The program is now doing what it should. Bradley

Hi All, I am using the following line of code: String[] children = directory.list(); It seems fine when I used it other places but I am getting an error on compile: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_11\bin>javac timeoutput.java timeoutput.java:4: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class io location: package java...

Bong, Let me look at this it might work just fine. I will let you know how it turns out. Bradley

Hello All, I want to purge all log files in a directory that are over 60 days old. Is there a Java class that will tell me how old a file is or perhaps a "created date?" I have been looking and can't find one. Hint I do have the YYYYMMDDHHMM as part of the file's name. Can I turn this into...

So here is what I did: for p_par in $*; do echo $p_par done It worked great. This was just my test script for a more complicated process where I had to take action on each positional variable. It worked just as easily. Thank you, PHV and Jean Pierre. Bradley

Jean Pierre, Does a for loop quit when it runs our of data? In this case p_par . I will have to look into this. Bradley

PHV, Can one use "eval" within a [test condition] ? Bradley

Hi All, I have a brain teaser. I am attempting to loop through a number of positional parameters but keep getting caught in an infinite loop. The input is : $ script_name (p_par_1) ...(p_par_n) The script I have: #!/usr/bin/ksh x=1 while [ -n $`$x` ] ; do #do while x is not null echo...

Vlad, Thanks again, it worked great. I am working on a Solaris Box. Bradley

Vlad, Thanks for your help. What is the difference between nawk and awk? Bradley

Hello All, I am having trouble with what seems simple. I am trying to change the delimiters in a file using awk. The current delimiter is a tab and I would like to change it to a ":" (colon). I am on the Korn shell and have tried the following: awk -F: {print} filename and also: awk...

Thanks Jean Pierre. I get a chance to revise the program later this week. I would rather do this correctly and I know that +([0-9]) is the correct test. I will let you know how it goes. Bradley

Thank you stefan and aigles. I was using Korn so I tried to refine my code as in the aigles example. I can see this should work. But after much trying and frustration I went a differnt route: if [ $temp -ge 1 -a $temp -lt 100000 ] ; then echo "The number, $temp is...

Hi All, I am having a little trouble with a Shell script I am writing. I would like to test input to see if it contains only numerals. I have already checked it for length, between 3 and 8 characters long. Let's say the the variable is called $value, how would I write the if statement? if [...

That's hilarious! Bradley

I think I am beginning to understand. Thank you Chipper and PHV! Bradley

Does the shell perform a syntax and semantic check before commands are sent to the kernel? Bradley

Thanks Balves...IT WORKED S-)

no it all depends on the action on form A, based on some conditional checking on form A I will set the focus to Text1 or text2. Its how my forms are working, if the user selects adding items in form A then I will set the focus to Text1, if the user selects to retrieve an item from database in...
