Append current date to filename
In C Shell programming I haven’t successfully been able to append the date in the format mmddyyyy to a filename. I’ve tried the following:
I can print out the date in the correct format: date +%x | sed ‘s/\///g I can create a variable with the filename: set newfile=changedfiles I can use the mv command: mv changedfiles.tar “$newfile” I cannot figure out how to append the current date to the file named in $newfile. Thanks

set newfile = "changedfiles`date +%m%d%Y` "
This would give you "changedfiles07192006" set into the variable newfile
