Search thru directories for a match 1

[frangac]

Hi All,

Can awk search thru directories and find pattern matches for e.g.
My Directories are structured as follows :

20040801/
20040802/
20040803/
2004..../
2004..../
2004..../
20040908/

Given $1 as 20040908, $2 as 20040909 and $3 as your pattern match (Chris). Search thru dir, greater than < 20040904 and less > 20040909 for pattern Chris.

If so please post an example.

Many Thanks
Chris

man find

not tested, but should give a starting point. You should define more clearly by "pattern Chris". Pattern in the file name OR in the content of the file?

#!bin/ksh
find * -type d -prune | while read curDir do
  if (( curDir> 20040904 && curDir < 20040909 )) ; then
      find curDir -type f -name 'Chris'
  fi;
don;
