No, a $1 takes the first input parameter.
What may be missing is some command to tell the script to list out the files?
Are you sure there are files that being with rv in the directory you are running the script form?

So all the current file names are unique, so are the new file names.... (1 Reply)

mktemp
MKTEMP(1) BSD General Commands Manual MKTEMP(1)
NAME
mktemp -- make temporary file name (unique)
SYNOPSIS
mktemp [-d] [-q] [-u] template
DESCRIPTION
The mktemp utility takes the given file name template and overwrites a portion of it to create a file name. This file name is unique and
suitable for use by the application. The template may be any file name with at least 6 of 'Xs' appended to it, for example /tmp/temp.XXXXXX.
The trailing 'Xs' are replaced with the current process number and/or a unique letter combination. The number of unique file names mktemp
can return depends on the number of 'Xs' provided; six 'Xs' will result in mktemp testing roughly 26 ** 6 combinations.
If mktemp can successfully generate a unique file name, the file is created with mode 0600 (unless the -u flag is given) and the filename is
printed to standard output.
OPTIONS
The available options are as follows:
-d Make a directory instead of a file.
-q Fail silently if an error occurs. This is useful if a script does not want error output to go to standard error.
-u Operate in ``unsafe'' mode. The temp file will be unlinked before mktemp exits. This is slightly better than mktemp(3) but still
introduces a race condition. Use of this option is not encouraged.
RETURN VALUES
The mktemp utility exits with a value of 0 on success, and 1 on failure.
EXAMPLES
The following sh(1) fragment illustrates a simple use of mktemp where the script should quit if it cannot get a safe temporary file.
TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/$0.XXXXXX` || exit 1
echo "program output" >> $TMPFILE
In this case, we want the script to catch the error itself.
TMPFILE=`mktemp -q /tmp/$0.XXXXXX`
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "$0: Can't create temp file, exiting..."
exit 1
fi
Note that one can also check to see that $TMPFILE is zero length instead of checking $?. This would allow the check to be done later one in
the script (since $? would get clobbered by the next shell command).
