Question on storing a variable from a rename action.
I have a simple if statement I am working with to validate if a file exist and rename it using the following method:
The output is just as it should be and I need to have that saved as a variable so that I can implement a revert changes option calling a $var that would equate to the .htaccess.bak_2015-05-04-18:49:13 generated and renaming it back. I realize I could easily make a command that reverts the changes finding the file using regular expressions although that seems dodgy as even if the likelihood of encountering a file named similarly is low it is possible.
My understanding of storing and calling variables is still pretty basic and I gladly welcome any help for a solution and understanding of a save in this manner.

DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
through the pango ft2 backend.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
--landscape
Landscape output. Default is portrait.
--columns=cl
Number of columns output. Default is 1.
--font=desc
Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.
--rtl Do rtl layout.
--paper ps
Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.
--bottom-margin=bm

--left-margin=lm

--header

--markup
Interpret the text as pango markup.
--encoding=ENCODING
Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.
--lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.
--cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.
--stretch-chars
Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
behaviour.
