Supposed a simple request
I'd like to search through a directory for all files having Feb in
them that begin with 'q1' then list those files out into a file with
most recent change last. and I need to know how many files.
I get so far
grep Feb q1* | cat -n
but this doesn't give me the most recent last.
ls -ltr q1* | cat -n
give most recent last and counts but it doesn't eliminate q1*s that
don't have 'Feb'
ls -ltr q1*Feb* | cat -n

thanks for your effort, but shame on me for not clarifying that the
Feb is not part of the filename. Feb should be found in a line within
each file name that begins with q1. In fact it'll probably be a date
like Feb 03, 2008, so I'll be looking for a string.
