Grep and Print Script

[bigkid123]

Hi,

I need help creating a script that will list files within a directory (/opt/actman/plm30/rpt) containing csbinv*.asc and phrinv*.asc. It should display the Date of the file and then allow the user to print a selected file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

a=`ls -al /opt/actman/plm30/rpt|grep csbinv|print {$6,$7,$8"\t"$9}`
b=`ls -al /opt/actman/plm30/rpt|grep phrinv|print {$6,$7,$8"\t"$9}`

will get you the date and filename

echo $a
echo $b

Please confirm the following

Idealy you want all the output to be displayed like

1. 12 Aug 2003 file1
2. 13 Aug 2003 file2
3. 15 Aug 2003 file3

Please enter the report you would like printing ..

you could go further and ask which date(s) the user would like to see the reports for.
