Hi Franklin, i copied paste your code but end up with "ksh: syntax error: `(' unexpected
".

Any advise?

Quote:
i=1
for f in DOC*.xml; do
mv "$f" "DOC$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)$(printf "%02d" $i).xml"
i=$((i+1))
done
I tried to use this, but got error " syntax error at line 6: `i=$' unexpected" in my unix box.

Any advise?
