Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting filename to contain date Post 68659 by kduffin on Wednesday 6th of April 2005 08:43:04 AM

Just a quick example. I use a script 'note' to just keep some random notes in the filesystem:

Quote:
#!/bin/ksh

NOW=`date +'%Y%m%d%H%M%S'`

if [ z$1 = "z" ]; then
SUBJECT=note
else
SUBJECT=$1
fi

NOTE=${HOME}/notes/${NOW}_${SUBJECT}.txt
date >> $NOTE
vi $NOTE
Cheers,

Keith
