Shell Programming and Scripting

I use this script for such task:

day=`date +%Y%m%d`
count=1
list_file=`ls -1 | grep PTWO`
for file in $list_file
do
mv $file COM${day}_${count}.txt
count=`echo $count + 1 | bc`
done


Have a nice day.

Hi,

Thanks guys for all the script.
After reviewing all of your script, I have choose the one from alepi..
And my program has work after customizing the script a little bit..

Thank You so Much!! Although I am a newbie in shell scripting, it is very enjoyable doing it because of you guys..

Anybody know on how to use shell script to insert all the data in the database??

Let me use the example from the situation before this :

After I have rename all the file name that start with the word "PTWO", I want to keep track all the previous file name(before the renaming process) and the latest filename (after it has been rename).

So I want to create a table that have 2 column which are "previous file name" and "new file name".

Anybody know on how to do it??

ls -1 + grep is useless.

Code:

for file in PTWO*
do
...
done
