experts: I just came across a requirement to generate a small script for the following task:
say In a folder I have Files for example below: xyz.20150228.zip xyz.20150203.zip xyz.20150202.zip abc.20150203.zip weekly_pc.20150327.zip weekly_pc.20150314.zip weekly_pc.20150304.zip the script should examine each files and keep only the latest one per file name. In the above files it should keep only these xyz.20150228.zip abc.20150203.zip weekly_pc.20150327.zip I think this is really easy with perl, tcl or python. but is it efficiently doablewith pure bash (and those classic tools like sort, awk, etc)? need some advise from shell experts here. regards ping -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
