They are auto-created every hour and the command outputs them in date order (I can choose earliest or latest first), so using your example I would need to split on the '.' and pick up the date and hour I think

    Ok, then my approach is of no use in your case. Please use roboticus solution. I don't understand now how do you find snapshots 1-6. Are those the first 6 entries on master? So you could think about not scanning whole files, only 6 entries of master and as many from slaves as needed (date check) - in case the files are huge.

      Thanks for your time, I'll go ahead with the other solution, and feed back if that would be useful.
