Unix Scripting Question
I have multiple files in one directory starting with POS. ex. POS123.date
POS345.date I want to touch each POS* file in the directory to create a 0 byte file called: POS123.date.complete POS345.date.complete What is the command to use to do this? This will be in a script and there will be multiple files in this directory beginning with POS. Bman79

Code:
for filename in /path/to/directory/POS*
do
echo $filename | grep -q "complete"
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
touch "$filename".date.complete
fi
done
I'm assuming you will run this day after day, so you do not want to 'retouch' files with the name *.complete"

thank you jim for:
for filename in /path/to/directory/POS* i used (will no longer) for filename in `ls -options /path/to/directory/POS*` you show me, the shell can resolve it, thanks again. i don't really agree with your (xpg4)grep i propose: case $filename in *complete) continue;; esac OR case $filename in *complete*) continue;; esac the second, is the same as your grep; so my version: for filename in /path/to/directory/POS* do case $filename in *complete) continue;; esac touch $filename.date.complete done
