Question : How can I find files starting with RCPT.Fxxxxxx from today?
Hi,
I've got a problem that I have decided to fix using a script. The script(vbscript) today finds a file and reads some data in that, that I want to use to find a matching file in another directory.
The filename is based on this: RCPT.Fxxxxx.Dkkkkkk.Glllll
llll.Tyyyy
yy.html
The xxxxxx in the Fxxxxxx is a value I know, the kkkkkk, lllllllll, yyyyyyyy is unkown. Is there a function / proper way to find the file from today? (There is only supposed / going to be one file that matches, but an escape if it finds two is ok :-) )
I'm comfortable with Bash, Batch, Perl and VBscript, so whatever script that does the find file best I will rewrite the script for parsing the first file to match the 2nd part :)

If its on a unix/linux box (you mention perl and bash), then use 'find'.
find /path/to/files -name RCPT.Fxxx* -ctime -1 -print
you can get more created with a regex for -name and use -exec for any extra operations.
