Re: Sort files by filename

The |sort isn't necessary since the shell always returns wild-card expansions in sorted order. In fact the ls isn't necessary either since the shell has already generated the list.
for i in something*
will do the same thing.

file_num=$(cut --delimiter=_ -f1 $i)
while [ $count -lt $file_num ] ; do
echo Missing file number $count count++
done
done


This is great. I think now I have enough pieces to make something work. I appreciate all the help.

The above doesn't help if you lose the 1st or last bunch of files. Do you always get the same set every day?
