RedHat Differentiate 2 files name
Hello All,

I have 2 Type of files.

Code:
1. MYTEST001_RKP_DORALDO_20150402120000.zip
2. CMP001_STD001_MOGANO_RPSL_20150409_C.zip

I can receive these Two type of file at one location.

If i receive second type of file
Code:
CMP001_STD001_MOGANO_RPSL_20150409_C.zip

I have to process without connecting to database because i have all the required input.

But if i receive First kind of file
Code:
MYTEST001_RKP_DORALDO_20150402120000.zip

I need to connect to database to fetch some value depending on MYTEST001.

Is there any way to differentiate these two types of file with above given naming convention.

Thanks for your help.

Code:
case "$FILENAME" in
M*)
        echo "MYTEST file"
        ;;
CMP*)
        echo "CMP file"
        ;;
esac

RedHat thw file format is not fixed.
Thanks for your reply but the files are randomly generated. except there naming convention nothing is fixed. like for the first one.

RedHat 2 files
Thanks for your reply.

First File format would be as below
Code:
<compound>_<study>_<agent>_<ana>_YYYYMMDD_(C or 1).zip

Second File format would be as below
Code:
<study>_<agent>_<ana>_YYYYMMDD(randomconstant)_(C or 1).zip

I find one way to differentiate is count the _ in filename. is there any other option.

try this:

Code:
if [ "$(ls file | awk -F_ '$5~/[0-9]{8}/')" != "" ];then echo GoodFile;fi

The file names in your first post don't follow your spec in post#5. There's no C nor 1 in file name 1.
protocomm's proposal is fine for your sample names, but it relies on the count of the "_" as well; So why not use that?
