File name suffix with a running number
Hi all,
i have a shell script invoking a pl/sql proc which then, generates a file in a format
DATA-26-12-2009.txt. The shell script is configured as a cron job to run once a day.
If i need to run the script more than once, i need to suffix the generated file with a two digit running number like DATA-26-12-2009-01.txt.
I need to know how to keep a two digit number and increment it, like 01, 02, 03,...09,10 ..etc.
Pls suggest a simple way to do this.
Thanks
