Displaying list of backup files using for loop

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I want to display list of last 10 backup files (with numbering) from the temporary file
c:/tmp/tmp_list_bkp.txt

Example :

1) backup_file1
2) backup_file2
3) backup_file3
........
........

I tried as below but not working.

for file in c:/tmp/tmp_list_bkp.txt
do
    echo $file
    echo ""
done

How this can be done using shell script ?

With Regards

Your script did not work because the file tmp_list_bkp.txt was not been opened.
try replacing as below..

for file in $(cat c:/tmp/tmp_list_bkp.txt)

To list the only last 10 files from the file

for file in $(tail c:/tmp/tmp_list_bkp.txt)

how about:

cat -n c:/tmp/tmp_list_bkp.txt

or

nl c:/tmp/tmp_list_bkp.txt
