Hi,

I need to copy a file from one directory to another and need to add the current date at the end of my file in the new dir. Please provide me the cmd that I can use.

I have a file abc.dat in dir SD/Files. I need to copy this file to dir SD/Files/Latest and the file name should have date with current time stamp at the end like abc.dat_10/07/2005 12:30:22.

Thanks,
Sarath.

file_name="abc.dat_"
YYYYMMDDTIME="`date '+%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S'`"
file_name=${file_name}_${YYYYMMDDTIME}
echo $file_name

Hi Akrithi,

I am new to scripts..

I ran the PERL script that you gave me..

my $src_file_name="/dba58/d039/powerdev/staging/Devl/SrcFiles/CRMPS01/receivables/crmps_dly_recv_file_detail.dat" ;
my $tgt_file_name="/dba58/d039/powerdev/staging/Devl/SrcFiles/CRMPS01/receivables/TEMP";
my $YYYYMMDDTIME="`date '+%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S'`" ;
file_name=${tgt_file_name}_${YYYYMMDDTIME};
#echo $file_name
cp src_file_name file_name;



I got errors when I ran this..

Script name : script_copy.pl

[/dba58/d039/powerdev/staging/Devl/Scripts/CRMPS01]>perl script_copy.pl
Bareword found where operator expected at script_copy.pl line 4, near "${tgt_fil

Can u tell me how to resolve this..?

It's a shell script, not a PERL script.
