Remove files - using date range input 4

[nrastogi]

Hi,

I like to accomplish the following sets of commands using the script -

cd /archive/users/
rm *090305*
rm *090405*
rm *090505*
....
....
rm *100205*


Basically, I like to remove all files that exists in /archive/users/.

I like to use a date range and delete all files from that date range.

I am new to scripting, please let me know exact steps to define parameter (date range) and how to use them in script.

Thanks much,
Nick

nrastogi,

I am also new to unix scripting(barely 1 year) but I have already written like 50+ scripts that is now running in our production machines. I usualy do my best to understand what all the unix commands by using book references and just using the man command. I still consider myself a neophyte in the scripting world but if something really stuns me in my scripting then I go to this wonderful forum to lay what I have done and then ask what I can improve upon. I don't ask
anyone in this forum to do my JOB! If you need training then I don't think this is the place.

In your case, a simple FIND comamnd could be the answer but then again that is yours to find out first.

You can search in this forum for "find date" (which, thankfully will NOT redirect you to a "Singles" site). This entry looked promissing, if I understand your needs:
