I want to use case statement to find the range of missing sequence in my directory which it has some few ( dat & DAT ) files
my directory /home/arm/my_folder/20130428 contains :
f01_201304280000.DAT
f01_201304280001.DAT
f01_201304280003.DAT
f02_201304280000.dat
f02_201304280002.dat
f02_201304280003.dat
!#/bin/sh
main="/home/arm/my_folder"
for file in $( find $main -type f | awk -F "/" '{ print $NF}' | cut -c1-3 )
do
case $file in
f01) start=$( find $main -type f -name "$file*" | sort | cut -c13-16 | head -1)
end=$( find $main -type f -name "$file*" | sort | cut -c13-16 | tail -1 )
diff=$(( $end - $start ))
miss=$file*diff*
echo $miss
f02) start=$( find $main -type f -name "$file*" | sort | cut -c13-16 | head -1)
end=$( find $main -type f -name "$file*" | sort | cut -c13-16 | tail -1 )
diff=$(( $end - $start ))
miss=$file*diff*
echo $miss
esac
done
hope you can correct me if I were wrong ?
