Thanks all for the reply & sorry for not using the code tags...
excuse me as I am just a beginner right now.. Smilie

However, i feel it doesnt work..
i will explain in more detail...


i first find the files by the date, lets say 13May in a particular directory and uncompress them
Code:
 gunzip \'*\'${date}*

Then I change the permission
Code:
 chmod 777 \'*\'${date}*

After this Step, lets say I get a file as
Code:
 'ABDDUT20513'13May06:03:45

. This is value which i see in the runnnig the script in debug mode
This piece of code picks up the file
Code:
 \'*\'${date}*

file name can be anything but format will be the same as above.

now dynamically i need to rename whatever file comes

so for e.g. if it is
Code:
 'ABDDUT20513'13May06:03:45

Then output has to be
Code:
 'ABDDUT20513'

Another example: Lets say file name is 'ABCCDT20515'15May05:17:38.Z

Then expected output is
Code:
 'ABCCDT20515'

.

This renamed file has to be placed in the same directory then.

Kindly help.

I really appreciate your replies and kindly bear with me.
I am just in learning stages of Shell scripting
