I need to read in a file
I have a file that contains a list of file name prefixes and a directory of expanded file names as shown here. I need to read the prefix_list.txt and for each prefix, list Only the relevant files from the samples directory. For example: For the prefix : y022inv, the script should return the following list: y022invha0.txt y022invhb0.txt y022invhc0.txt. What would be the way to do this ? Thanks A! prefix_list.txt ========== y022inv y022mak y022lan The files in the Samples directory % ls samples y022invha0.txt y022invhb0.txt y022invhc0.txt y022makha0.txt y022makhb0.txt y022makhc0.txt y022lanha0.txt y022lanhc0.txt --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
