    See I want to extract average field (date by date) along with numeric values
    from all month log files generated and kept in directory. The values
    extracted will be used to generate graph.

    Regards
    Akash Jain

    Can you give more information? What directory, and what log files?
    What are you searching for?

    Identifying the particular files is likely to be the biggest problem if they
    don't have a particular naming convention.

    To search all text files you might use the "file" command to identify
    whether they're simple ASCII files, or executables or whatever. Bear in
    mind that sometimes a log file may show up as "Commands" or something like
    that.

Hi Experts,
I need to perform a search and output the result in another file with the
following conditions:
1. Performed on log files (NOT based on the file extension).
2. The text files must be automatically identified.
3. To be recursively performed on all files within a directory.
4. Output a report in another text file
5. Need to extract some numeric values on the basis of search string
Please provide me the script or command to perform the desired action.
I suppose the combination of find and grep should do the requisite.
