To match your requirement, the 'date' command should be:
Code:
date +'%d%m%Y%H%M%S'
The %Y gives a 4-digit year.
Statements like "which is not working" tell us nothing. What went wrong?
Maybe your script should be something like:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
DDMMYYYYHHMMSS=`date +'%d%m%Y%H%M%S'` # Evaluate the date once only
cd /vol/best/srcfiles
for filename in "Payor" "customer" "vendor" Employee"
do
if [ -f "${filename} ]
then
mv "${filename}" "${filename}.${DDMMYYYYHHMMSS}"
fi
done
Btw. The date format YYYYMMDD etc. is much better than DDMMYYYY etc. in filenames because the files will come out in chronogical order in a default "ls" directory list.
