get current system date
How do I create a shell script that would get the current system date in format of yyyymmdd and use that result to concatenate it to a filename that it would look like this: sample20051024.dat
Code:
example -------- current system date: 24-Oct-2005 filename: sample.dat when the shell script run it now becomes sample20051024.dat

Assuming that you are accepting the system date and the filename from the user, you can use this:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh oldIFS=$IFS IFS=$IFS.- echo "Enter system date: \c" read year month day echo "Enter filename: \c" read fname ext echo $fname$year$month$day.$ext IFS=$oldIFS
