If I understand, you want to not only move the files, but rename them too. Right?

Here's one way. This adds -heute- in the middle of the name, right after "RSD":
Code:
for FILE in ${APSYS_DAT}/RSD*.txt; do
    BASE="$(basename "$FILE")"
    mv "$FILE" "$swx_path/${BASE/RSD/RSD-${heute}-}"
done


Do any of the files have spaces in the names? That would make it a little trickier.
