As far as I can see, the script is intended to analyse the names of files found in a directory and produce a list of those files (prefixed by two comma-separated fields derived from the filename) in a file called temp.CSV in the same directory. This however does not tie up with the description in your previous post which implies some data edit.
Before you end up trashing every file in your directory with "trial-and-error" scripting, please post sample filenames and a full description of the process complete with matching sample output.
Also, please use code tags for code and data samples.
It is never necessary or desirable to end a line of a Bourne Shell script with a semi-colon (except for the one exception of certain syntax of the "find" command). This is unix script language not Oracle or Perl.
