Hi all,

OS: SOlaris 2.8
DB: 8i

In the clean up process of the following files, I am
trying to list out the files that start with cz.

 cz-session-returnui177_11Jan02_0959AM_33509.txt
 cz-session-Applet178_11Jan02_0959AM_34108.txt
 cz-session-returnui175_11Jan02_0959AM_20504.txt
 cz-session-DHTML176_11Jan02_0959AM_22335.txt
 cz-session-returnui179_11Jan02_1000AM_34566.txt
 cz-session-Applet180_11Jan02_1000AM_34818.txt
 cz-session-BatchSingle181_11Jan02_1001AM_07757.txt
 cz-session-BatchSingle182_11Jan02_1001AM_11687.txt
 cz-session-BatchSingle183_11Jan02_1001AM_14010.txt
 cz-session-BatchSingle184_11Jan02_1001AM_17708.txt
 cz-session-BatchSingle185_11Jan02_1001AM_20029.txt

but when I issue ls -ltr cz* , I am getting arg list
too long error. I 70,000-80,000 files that needs to be
removed from the directory.

I cant list them using ls -ltr *session* as this
string may change. I have to identify the files that
srart with cz only.

can somebody through somelight on this.

thanx in advance,
srinivas
