mv command if you dont know the full name of the file
Hi all.
I have a problem renaming a file.
It is called "data_200711051002.csv" (for example) and I want to rename it automatically to "data.csv" in a routine in a program named Ascential.
Those numbers are a time stamp, so every time the file is loaded into the server, they will change.
I have tried this:
"mv /folder1/folder2/data*.csv /folder1/folder2/data.csv"
But it does not work, as there is an error: it does not find the file (there will be only one file at a time).
Does anyone know what do I have to do to rename a file without knowing the full name?
Thanks!!!
