Rename File Based on Created Date
I am trying to rename files based on the created/born date of the file. I Have a total of 4000 files that i am trying to do this with and would like it to be log_yyyymmddhh.gz right now the files are maillog.???.gz.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to get this done via scipt?
I know how to do it based on the current time however what i need is the created/born time. I have tried to use stat however having a problem formating the date.
Thanks
Paul

Hi,
Currently, we have a Perl script from a third-party vendor that is generating core dumps. It has been reported. We can't turn off the script as it does generate some diagnostic file that's required. So at the moment, we have to let it continue to do its run.

www::mechanize::formfiller::value::random::date
WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date(3pm)
NAME
WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date - Fill a timestamp into an HTML form field
SYNOPSIS
use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller;
use WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date;
my $f = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller->new();
# Create a random value for the HTML field "born"
my $born = WWW::Mechanize::FormFiller::Value::Random::Date->new(
born => string => '%Y%m%d', min => '20000101', max => '20373112' );
$f->add_value( born => $born );
# Alternatively take the following shorthand, which adds the
# field to the list as well :
# If there is no password, put a random one out of the list there
my $last_here = $f->add_filler( last_here => Random::Date => string => '%H%M%S', min => '000000', max => 'now');
DESCRIPTION
This class provides a way to write a randomly chosen value into a HTML field.
new NAME, %ARGS
Creates a new value which will correspond to the HTML field "NAME". The allowed %ARGS are
string => POSIX strftime string
min => minimum time stamp (inclusive)
max => maximum time stamp (exclusive)
The "min" and "max" time stamps must be in the same format as the "string" supplies.
WARNING
The algorithm to implement "min" and "max" barriers is very simplicistic - it tries as many random values as necessary to meet the two
criteria. This means that your script may enter an infinite loop if the criteria can never be attained or are too little apart.
name [NEWNAME]
Gets and sets the name of the HTML field this value corresponds to.
value FIELD
Returns the value to put into the HTML field.
EXPORT
None by default.
