With 15 posts under your belt, you should have figured out code tags by now. Select text and hit the code button, the button.
`ls *.txt` is redundant, for file in *.txt does the same thing more reliably since it will not be confused by spaces in filenames.
If I understand you I think this may work:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# IFS is a special variable which controls splitting.
# Set it to _ and we can split on that string.
# But we will need to restore its original value later!
OLDIFS="$IFS"
IFS="_"
for file in *.txt
do
echo 'The file name is ......' $file
# Split on IFS and store in $1, $2, $3 variables.
# $1="i", $2="can", $3="phone", $4="170420.txt"
set -- $file
shift 3 # Remove "i", "can", "phone", leaving $1="170420.txt"
new_file=$(printf "_%s" "$@") # new_file=_$1_$2_$3_...
new_file="${new_file:1}" # Strip off leading _
echo "The new file name is ...... $new_file"
echo mv ${file} $new_file
done;
IFS="$OLDIFS"
Remove the echo from mv once you've tested and are sure this does what you want.

gri_merge
GRI_MERGE(1) General Commands Manual GRI_MERGE(1)NAME
gri_merge - merge multiple Gri output files into a single PostScript file.
USAGE (style 1):
gri_merge [OPTIONS] CxR a.ps b.ps ... > merged_file.ps
Merges the files onto one page, in 'C' columns and 'R' rows. The CxR files are given in the order of words on a page. The page is pre-
sumed to be 8.5x11in in size, as are all the input files, and the input files are sized to fit, and kept in natural scale.
USAGE (style 2):
gri_merge [OPTIONS] xcm ycm enlarge a.ps [b.ps ...] > merged_file.ps
Where `enlarge' is a scale factor applied after offsetting `xcm' to the right and `ycm' upward.
EXAMPLE (style 2):
The following
gri_merge 2 12 .5 a.ps
12 12 .5 b.ps
2 2 .5 c.ps
12 2 .5 d.ps > all.ps
produces 4 panels from gri plots done using margins and sizes as specified in the following lines in a gri commandfile
set x margin 2
set x size 15
set y margin 2
set y size 15
The OPTIONS, available if your 'perl' has 'getopts' library, are:
-u graylevel -- set graylevel for underlay beneath panels, by default 0.75.
Values range from 0 (black) to 1 (white), although a value of precisely 1 means do NOT draw underlay.
-b graylevel -- Set value for background under individual panels, again 0
for black to 1 for white, with 1 meaning no drawing.
-h-- Print this help message and quit.
