Please choose the below path 1 (or) 2

  1. /var/tmp/dir1

  2. /var/tmp/dir2
    else. exit

  3. once i enter 1, it should go to the path /var/tmp/dir1/08042015/

Hi and welcome to the forums.

What have you tried so far?
Please use the code tags (next to php) to show code or terminal output.
Where are you stuck?

Have a nice day.

Sorry Sir. I do not know how to write the scripting.

Try this (untested):

strDate=$(date +'%d%m%Y')
outputFile=~/myLog.txt

select curDir in  /var/tmp/dir1   /var/tmp/dir2
do	cd "$curDir/$strDate"
	echo "$PWD" >> "$outputFile"
	data=$(ls -lrt)
	num=$(echo "$data" | wc -l)
	[ $num -gt 10 ] && \
		echo >> "$outputFile"
done

Is this homework?
