Inserting variable values in filename
Hi All,

I have a directory containing multiple files.
and also a txt file which contains the list of all filenames and certain values.

I want to read the text file line by line and if its 2nd column is matched with the filename in directory, then it must insert the values in 7th column to the filename.

ex: DIR [ a.txt
b.txt
c.txt]

filenamelist.txt
Code:
assa  dsad werr vdss a.txt is 2.4
assa  dsad werr vdss b.txt is 3.2
assa  dsad werr vdss c.txt is 4.3

result required in DIR :
Code:
a_2.4
b_3.2
c_4.3
