Hi.,
I am with other concern about the same question which I initially posted.
Actually I tested the above things by hard coding name of the file in the script. But I want it to be dynamically placed into the script.
Actually after reading file name from the shell, the i/p var acts as the file as against to string. So how to treat the file _ name as the string?
whats going on guys. below is a script i made and am just curious if there is a "time stamp" command. so i can set the timestamp in a filename.
#! /bin/ksh
#
# This scripts takes a list of files in the INDIR variable and compairs it to a list of files that are open in the same directory.... (2 Replies)

I have lots of files in this format:
dvgrab-2003.06.29_15-30-24.mpg
The numbers represents the date and time (YYYY.MM.DD_HH-MM-SS)
How can I extract the dates from the filenames, and use the dates in the file timestamp?
I guess this can be done by using "find", "sed" and "touch"?

escape
escape(1) Mail Avenger 0.8.3 escape(1)NAME
escape - escape shell special characters in a string
SYNOPSIS
escape string
DESCRIPTION
escape prepends a "" character to all shell special characters in string, making it safe to compose a shell command with the result.
EXAMPLES
The following is a contrived example showing how one can unintentionally end up executing the contents of a string:
$ var='; echo gotcha!'
$ eval echo hi $var
hi
gotcha!
$
Using escape, one can avoid executing the contents of $var:
$ eval echo hi `escape "$var"`
hi ; echo gotcha!
$
A less contrived example is passing arguments to Mail Avenger bodytest commands containing possibly unsafe environment variables. For
example, you might write a hypothetical reject_bcc script to reject mail not explicitly addressed to the recipient:
#!/bin/sh
formail -x to -x cc -x resent-to -x resent-cc
| fgrep "$1" > /dev/null
&& exit 0
echo "<$1>.. address does not accept blind carbon copies"
exit 100
To invoke this script, passing it the recipient address as an argument, you would need to put the following in your Mail Avenger rcpt
script:
bodytest reject_bcc `escape "$RECIPIENT"`

BUGS
escape is designed for the Bourne shell, which is what Mail Avenger scripts use. escape might or might not work with other shells.
