dynamic names for .tar.gz files?
Hi All,
I have a requirement to zip and compress files with dynamic names (which includes date and time component in their names) needs to be compressed with same name.
for example I have a file T.30.SLS_ORD.SO.27.2_2_2.20080623.041415.dat which needs to archived as T.30.SLS_ORD.SO.27.2_2_2.20080623.041415.tar.gz.
I tried all options but no use. Can some one worked on these please let me the script or options to achive this.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Srinivas

deb(5) dpkg suite deb(5)
NAME
deb - Debian binary package format
SYNOPSIS
filename.deb
DESCRIPTION
The .deb format is the Debian binary package file format. It is understood since dpkg 0.93.76, and is generated by default since dpkg 1.2.0
and 1.1.1elf (i386/ELF builds).
The format described here is used since Debian 0.93; details of the old format are described in deb-old(5).
FORMAT
The file is an ar archive with a magic value of !<arch>. Only the common ar archive format is supported, with no long file name
extensions, but with file names containing an optional trailing slash, which limits their length to 15 characters (from the 16 allowed).
File sizes are limited to 10 ASCII decimal digits, allowing for up to approximately 9536.74 MiB member files.
The tar archives currently allowed are, the old-style (v7) format, the pre-POSIX ustar format, a subset of the GNU format (new style long
pathnames and long linknames, supported since dpkg 1.4.1.17; large file metadata since dpkg 1.18.24), and the POSIX ustar format (long
names supported since dpkg 1.15.0). Unrecognized tar typeflags are considered an error. Each tar entry size inside a tar archive is
limited to 11 ASCII octal digits, allowing for up to 8 GiB tar entries. The GNU large file metadata support permits 95-bit tar entry sizes
and negative timestamps, and 63-bit UID, GID and device numbers.
The first member is named debian-binary and contains a series of lines, separated by newlines. Currently only one line is present, the
format version number, 2.0 at the time this manual page was written. Programs which read new-format archives should be prepared for the
minor number to be increased and new lines to be present, and should ignore these if this is the case.
If the major number has changed, an incompatible change has been made and the program should stop. If it has not, then the program should
be able to safely continue, unless it encounters an unexpected member in the archive (except at the end), as described below.
The second required member is named control.tar. It is a tar archive containing the package control information, either not compressed
(supported since dpkg 1.17.6), or compressed with gzip (with .gz extension), xz (with .xz extension, supported since 1.17.6) or zstd (with
.zst extension, supported since 1.19.0.5ubuntu2), as a series of plain files, of which the file control is mandatory and contains the core
control information, the conffiles, triggers, shlibs and symbols files contain optional control information, and the preinst, postinst,
prerm and postrm files are optional maintainer scripts. The control tarball may optionally contain an entry for '.', the current
directory.
The third, last required member is named data.tar. It contains the filesystem as a tar archive, either not compressed (supported since
dpkg 1.10.24), or compressed with gzip (with .gz extension), xz (with .xz extension, supported since dpkg 1.15.6), zstd (with .zst
extension, supported since 1.19.0.5ubuntu2), bzip2 (with .bz2 extension, supported since dpkg 1.10.24) or lzma (with .lzma extension,
supported since dpkg 1.13.25).
These members must occur in this exact order. Current implementations should ignore any additional members after data.tar. Further members
may be defined in the future, and (if possible) will be placed after these three. Any additional members that may need to be inserted after
debian-binary and before control.tar or data.tar and which should be safely ignored by older programs, will have names starting with an
underscore, '_'.
Those new members which won't be able to be safely ignored will be inserted before data.tar with names starting with something other than
underscores, or will (more likely) cause the major version number to be increased.
