[ale] searching for files....

[Greg Freemyer]

Jim,

Good time to practice my awk skills.

Does this come close to working?  I did not test it.

####
#!/bin/sh

ls [\.a-z]* | fgrep -v .  > Universe_of_base_files

ls [\.a-z]*\.data > Universe_of_data_files

awk '
BEGIN {FS="." }
{print $1}
' Universe_of_data_files > BaseName_of_data_files

uniq Universe_of_base_files BaseName_of_data_files >
base_files_without_data_files
