Help in renaming file !!!
Hi All,
I want to rename a file inside a script which has a date portion appended at the start of the file name.
The script i wrote works fine when the file comes on a day to day basis but sometimes it comes late too.
#!/usr/bin/ksh
cd /space/file/source
dt=$(date "date "+%m%d%Y")
mv $dt_xxx_yyy_aaa_bbb.txt xxx_yyy_aaa_bbb_$dt.txt
input:
04302007_xxx_yyy_aaa_bbb.txt
output should be like
xxx_yyy_aaa_bbb_04302007.txt.
I know sed or awk can do this by extracting the numeric part and then appending it to the end of file name.But me totally new to such things.Can someone help me extracting the date portion and then adding it just before the extension?
Thanks,
Kumar
