The code you posted is adding all the names of folder

Code:
cops21_cops22_cops23_cops24_cops_25_HMCBackup_20161011.123704.tgz

---------- Post updated at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:12 PM ----------

Code:
basename `dirname "/nim/dr/HMC/cops21/HMCBackup_20161011.123704.tgz"`

is giving me cops21

Now, I need to append that cops21 to the filename

Can you try this script and let me know how it goes ?

Code:
$ tree
.
├── cops21
│   └── HMCBackup_20161011.123704.tgz
├── cops25
│   └── HMCBackup_20161012.12346.tgz
└── try.sh

Code:
cat try.sh
#!/bin/bash

find . -name "*tgz" |
while read line
do
echo $line
getext=${line##*.}
getdir=${line%/*}
getdir=${getdir#./*}
justfile=${line#./*/}
justfile=${justfile%.*}
mv $line ./${getdir}/${getdir}_${justfile}.${getext}
done

Code:
$ ./try.sh 
./cops25/HMCBackup_20161012.12346.tgz
./cops21/HMCBackup_20161011.123704.tgz

After running the script, i get the output as you said.( renamed files )

Code:
$ tree
.
├── cops21
│   └── cops21_HMCBackup_20161011.123704.tgz
├── cops25
│   └── cops25_HMCBackup_20161012.12346.tgz
└── try.sh

That works!!

---------- Post updated at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous update was at 03:46 PM ----------

One thing I noticed is that every time I run the try.sh script, it keeps adding the cops21 to the file name

Code:
cops21_HMCBackup_20161011.123704.tgz

becomes
Code:
cops21_cops21_HMCBackup_20161011.123704.tgz

that should not be the case, it should only change files which are HMC*.tgz and not cops21_HMC*.tgz

thanks

Try changing
Code:
find . -name "*tgz"

to
Code:
find . -name "HMC*tgz"
