i have the following shell script to grep file according to current date
#!/bin/ksh
a=0
if
a=`date +"%d"`
b=`date +"%e"`
then
ls -ltr *.log | egrep "$a|$b" | tr -s " " | cut -d " " -f6-9
else
echo "Records not found for $a $b "
fi
------------------------------------------------------------------------
but the o/p i m getting is that it it grepping some previous date files also
