one kind of file name and its path is:
Code:
/media/DATA1/receiver/rc/DATA/INVERSION/ARMT/baz_100_135/dist_60_90/09_245_0800.eqr

we set the variables

set year=`cut -c 1-2 data`
set jday=`cut -c 4-6 data`
set hour=`cut -c 8-9 data`

the other file name is
Code:
 /media/DATA1/receiver/rc/DATA/INVERSION/ARMT/2009.245.08.00.00.ARMT.eqr

These two files are the same but file names are different and we want the first kind of file to replace with the second type of the file name.
