File renaming with date timestamp
Hi,
This is my script:
#! /usr/bin/ksh
cd /app/chdata/workflow/suppl/esoutput/spd/testing
for file in /app/chdata/workflow/suppl/esoutput/spd/testing
do
sort *.txt | awk '{ file=substr($0,1,2)".txt"; print >> file }'
mv *.txt file_`date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`.txt
done
Here, I am trying to rename all the files say *.txt to *_date.txt.
However, Its throwing an error.
Please help.
Regards,
Sunitha
