Can you tell us what OS, version and shell you are using? The output from uname -a;ps would be fine.
How about using shell variable substitution?
Assuming that the input files are all in the current directory and start WI_SCOPE_ you could easily do:-
Code:
for file in WI_SCOPE_*
do
filedate="${file##*_*_}" # Chop off from the beginning the longest string that matches "*_*_", i.e. keep just from two underscore back
filedate="${filedate%.txt}" # Chop off the .txt part from the end
echo "I have got ${filedate}"
done
If you have lots of files then the other methods would cost you in performance of starting processes all over the place for each file. This is all within the shell process.
This should work for both ksh and bash.
I hope that this helps and you can easily extend the loop as you need to. Does this get you started down the process? We can further split up the string to get the values and then do calculations on them if you need to. How far do you get?
Kind regards,
Robin

innoextract(1) General Commands Manual innoextract(1)NAME
innoextract - tool to extract installers created by Inno Setup
SYNOPSIS
innoextract [-behlLqstv] [-ccolor] [-pprogress] installers ...
DESCRIPTION
innoextract is a tool that can extract installer executables created by Inno Setup.
innoextract will extract files from a installers specified on the command line.
To extract a multi-part installer with external data files, only the executable (.exe) file needs to be given as an argument to innoex-
tract.
OPTIONS -c --color [enable]
By default innoextract will try to detect if the terminal supports shell escape codes and enable or disable color output accord-
ingly. Pass 1 or true to --color to force color output. Pass 0 or false to never output color codes.
--dump Don't convert Windows paths to UNIX paths and don't substitute variables in paths.
-e --extract
Extract all files to the current directory. This is the default action. You may only specify one of --extract , --list and --test
-h --help
Show a list of the supported options.
--language [lang]
Extract only language-independent files and files for the given language. By default all files are extracted.
--license
Show license information.
-l --list
List files contained in the installer but don't extract anything. You may only specify one of --extract , --list and --test
-L --lowercase
Convert filenames stored in the installer to lower-case before extracting.
-p --progress [enable]
By default innoextract will try to detect if the terminal supports shell escape codes and enable or disable progress bar output
accordingly. Pass 1 or true to --progress to force progress bar output. Pass 0 or false to never show a progress bar.
-q --quiet
Less verbose output.
-s --silent
Don't output anything except errors and warnings.
-t --test
Test archive integrity but don't write any output files. You may only specify one of --extract , --list and --test
-v --version
Show the innoextract version number and supported Inno Setup versions.
LIMITATIONS
innoextract currently only supports extracting all the data. There is no support for extracting individual files, components or languages.
Included scripts and checks are not executed.
Data is always extracted to the current directory and the mapping from Inno Setup variables like the application directory to subdirecto-
ries is hard-coded.
innoextract does not check if an installer includes multiple files with the same name and will continually overwrite the destination file
when extracting.
Names for data files in multi-file installers must follow the standard naming scheme.
Encrypted installers are not supported.
