If you want to do what is in the comments:
Code:
##First name should be equal to 8 digits

Code:
case $var in 
  ([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9])
    echo "The first part of name equals 8 digits"
  ;;
  (*)
    echo "The first part of name does not equal 8 digits"
esac

instead of $var you could also use ${name_*%%}

Or you could use:
Code:
case $name in 
  ([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]_)
   echo "The first part of name equals 8 digits"
  ;;
  (*)
    echo "The first part of name does not equal 8 digits"
esac
