looping through files to search for given substrings

#!/bin/bash

dir="/home/ubuntu/data"
# loop though all the required dates
for ldate in $(echo 2012{01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11,12}{01,11,21})
do
# for each date
# check if there is a file in input directory which contains the date
file=$(ls ${dir}/ | grep ${ldate})
if [[ -n ${file} ]]; then
# file was found
name=${file##*/}
fdate=${name:11:8}
size=$(stat -c %s ${dir}/${name})
echo "date=${ldate}, name=${name}, size=(${size} bytes)"
else
# file was not found
echo "date=${ldate}, no file matching"
fi
done

Bash is fun....................
just made this scripts,
it searches part of filenames for a date given, which is a substring for a file name,if the date macthes part of the file name it prints out else it print that date given as a substring does not macth.make your edits towards your scripts.bashhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Look what I find on web. It is about making keyboard caps led flashing when hdd is in use. Didn't try it personally, but i'm amazed by the power of shell scripts.

Code:

#!/bin/bash



# Check interval seconds

CHECKINTERVAL=0.1



# console

CONSOLE=/dev/console



#indicator to use [caps, num, scroll]

INDICATOR=caps



getVmstat() {

  cat /proc/vmstat|egrep "pgpgin|pgpgout"  

}

#turn led on

function led_on()

{

    setleds -L +${INDICATOR} < ${CONSOLE}

}

#turn led off

function led_off()

{

    setleds -L -${INDICATOR} < ${CONSOLE}

}

# initialise variables

NEW=$(getVmstat)

OLD=$(getVmstat)

## 

while [ 1 ] ; do

  sleep $CHECKINTERVAL # slowdown a bit

  # get status 

  NEW=$(getVmstat)

  #compare state

  if [ "$NEW" = "$OLD" ]; then  

    led_off ## no change, led off

  else

    led_on  ## change, led on

  fi

  OLD=$NEW  

done
