Also, the date which I trying to replace is the create date of the file and not the sysdate.


Code:
ls-1 imap* | awk '
BEGIN   {for (n=split("Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec", M); n>0; n--) MNr[M[n]]=n
        }
        {sub (/\.txt/,"")
         n=split ($NF, T, "-")
         if (T[n] == "import" || T[n] == "")    {n++
                                                 T[n]=sprintf ("2015%02d%02d", MNr[$6], $7)}
         print T[2] (n==5?"-"T[3]:"") " | " T[n]
        }
'

awk: syntax error near line 4
awk: illegal statement near line 4
awk: syntax error near line 8
awk: illegal statement near line 8

Would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks
use nawk on Solaris instead of awk.
Or as an alternative:
Code:
ls -1 imap* | nawk -F "(-import[.]*)|([.])" '{print substr($1,index($1,"-")+1),(NF==2)?"need a create file date here":sqrt($(NF-1)^2)}' OFS='|'
