Actually in my example i have used "_" before for all date format. But actually some cases it is like (yyyymmdd_fee_file2.dat). In some cases it is like hh_mm_ss:yyyymmmdd also. So this wouldnt work out for my problem.

I have somehow close to my solution using the re interval option to awk. If some1 has better solution. Warm welcome for it.

echo $feed_file | awk --re-interval '
/y{3}ymmdd/ { print "yyyymmdd" }
/[^y]y{1}ymmdd/ { print "yymmdd" }
/yymmmdd/ { print "yymmmdd" }
/y{3}ymmmdd/ { print "yyyymmmdd" }
'

like this i will add complete possible cases. If any new format in feed file, i will be keep updating this script
