ls list files not matching given string in filename

Hi,.

I am writing a script to get the new files and split them.

Requirement Find the new files under the path "/wload/scmp/app/data/OAS" (There are 5 sub folders).

Need to 1. archive all the files in a directory from the previous month into a tar/gz file, ignoring all already archived 'tar.gz' files 2. Check created .tar.gz file isnt corrupted and has all the required files in it. and then remove the original files. I am using a function to get the last month name from the current sys date.

Contents of my dir are

$ ls -lrt total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 admin 19 Oct 8 12:31 night.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 admin 19 Oct 8 12:31 noon.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 admin 38 Oct 8 12:31 day.txt

I would like to list out details of files that have a word in the filename as specified.

Example :

$ ls -lrt *day|night* ls: *day: No such file or directory bash: night.txt: command not found

Expected

If I have a directory full of files and sub directories. What is the best way to list just the regular files which fall alphabetically before a given string?

Currently the best I can do using bash is the following:

for x in `find .

I have over one million files. And I have to proceed over them. My files' directory hierarchies just like below

source=/opt/output/renamed/ target=/opt/output/combine send=/opt/output/send/combined

Firstly I have to loop 1000 files from source (/opt/output/renamed) directory and group them by filename.

Hi,

I would like to list all files, older than 7 days, in a directory, but exclude all subdirectories in the find command. If I use find . -type f -mtime +7 all files in the subdirs are also included. How can I exclude them?

Regards, JW

what I am trying to do is to compress a list of files using tar.

So what I am doing is

sudo tar -pcf filename.tgz `cat filename.list`

so if there is a directory on the list like this

/home/vmuser/.gconf

tar compresses everything in that folder. However what I want is to just add exactly whatever is on the list.

Is is it possible to use the locate command to only find directories? To rephrase, I want to search for a directory, and exclude any result that is not a directory, such as files or symlinks to files.

While not necessary, I would like the solution to also return symlinks to other directories (but again, not files).

Lastly, I would like to exclude directories within foo, with one exception.

I have: a directory with many nested subdirectories and files.

I would like: a list of all files whose name doesn't contain a certain string.

Example file structure:

foo/ foo/bar/foobar.txt foo/foo/foobartest.txt foo/foobartest.txt

If I enter my query with the string "test" it should return only /foo/bar/foobar.txt

I suppose one would use find with some regex?

Thanks a lot for your help!
