@balajesuri,

what about the date. tried giving something like this:

Code:
egrep 'aaa_bbb_ccc_ddd_(cost|revenue|benefit|profit)_code_[0-9]*.gz

but it's copying files that have a single digit in them. How can the yyyymmdd format be recognised?

Also, I need to assign this pattern to a variable. Should * be escaped within double quotes. Please help
