>$log
while read -r project; do
    snapshots=$(gcloud compute snapshots list \

                --format="value(name)" \
                --filter="creationTimestamp<=$old AND sourceSnapshotSchedulePolicy:*")
    for snapshot in $snapshots
    do
        printf "%-30s %-30s \n" "$project" "$snapshot"  | tee -a $log
    done
done < projectIds.txt
