move in ksh
Hello everybody:
I wanted to rename some files by adding date at the end. I wanted to assign the new name to a variable. Following is the code
REMOTE_FILE="/abc/data/test.csv"
mv /abc/data/test.csv /abc/data/"`date '+test_%Y%m%d'`".csv
REMOTE_FILE="/abc/data/"`date '+test_%Y%m%d'`".csv"
Question:
1. Is the above code correct? The expected result would be 'test_20081112.csv'
2. There are multiple files e.g. test1.csv, test2.csv, test3.csv; I believe I have to use loop as following but not sure.
for each in *.csv;
do
mv $each /abc/data/"`date '+test_%Y%m%d'`".csv
done
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
