Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers copy and rename list of files Post 63640 by RTM on Friday 25th of February 2005 10:49:51 AM

You posted two different file output in this post - wasn't sure which is correct.
Input file should be RPT101 or RPT.101 - script below assumes RPT101 - just add 'cutting' another field if that incorrect.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
files=`ls -1 RPT*.TXT`
for xx in $files
do
    newname=`echo $xx|cut -d. -f1,2`
    now=`date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S'`
    cp $xx ./junk/$newname.$now.TXT
done

Just change or add any specific directory path - should work if I understood what you are looking for.

blaze-add adds a blog post or a page to the BlazeBlogger repository. If a file is supplied, it adds the content of that file, otherwise an external text editor is opened for you. Note that there are several special forms and placeholders that can be used in the text, and that will be replaced with a proper data when the blog is generated. Special Forms <!-- break --> A mark to delimit a blog post synopsis. Placeholders %root% A relative path to the root directory of the blog. %home% A relative path to the index page of the blog. %page[id]% A relative path to a page with the supplied id. %post[id]% A relative path to a blog post with the supplied id. %tag[name]% A relative path to a tag with the supplied name. OPTIONS
-b directory, --blogdir directory Allows you to specify a directory in which the BlazeBlogger repository is placed. The default option is a current working directory. -E editor, --editor editor Allows you to specify an external text editor. When supplied, this option overrides the relevant configuration option. -t title, --title title Allows you to specify the title of a blog post or page. -a author, --author author Allows you to specify the author of a blog post or page. -d date, --date date Allows you to specify the date of publishing of a blog post or page. -k keywords, --keywords keywords Allows you to specify a comma-separated list of keywords attached to a blog post or page. -T tags, --tags tags Allows you to supply a comma-separated list of tags attached to a blog post. -u url, --url url Allows you to specify the url of a blog post or page.

This is the default option. -h, --help Displays usage information and exits. -v, --version Displays version information and exits. ENVIRONMENT
