I having minor issue if my directory name contains "_" symbol
Here "system_inbound" is my directory name, the above code is not producing the intended result if the directory name contains "_" ( field separator).
This field separator may occur in my directory name more than once like ( system_inb_123 or user_inbound_124).
I tried using NF in awk, but its not producing any output at all.
Any help is much appreciated. Many Thanks in advance.

Please use CODE tags (not ICODE tags) for multi-line input, output, and code samples.
The obvious, simple thing to do to fix this is to change the line:
to:
Then the awk script is dealing with filenames in a directory (as it was designed to do) instead of pathnames that contain an arbitrary number of underscores.
If you're trying to use this script to handle multiple directories in a single invocation using something like:
then you need to restate your requirements so we know what is supposed to happen if the number after RSK_ has matches in multiple directories. This would be a lot more complex than dealing with matches in a single directory.
