Hi Anbu,
Your script is working perfectly fine.But i have got into a new problem...

BP_ccc_ddd_032307.dat
BP_aa_bb_032307.dat
BP_dd_ee_032307.dat
BP_ff_gg_032307.xls
BP_xx.yy_20070323134501.dat (apart from date,the other digits vary from day to day )
BP_ss_pp_20070323030002.dat
Now i dont know how to dynamically update the date portion of these files
dt=$(date"+%b-%d-%y")
[...]
I get his error mesg when i execute the script..i dont know if i'm running it wrongly..
date1.sh: syntax error at line 4: `dt=$' unexpected
You are probably using a Bourne shell. You should use a POSIX shell for scripting; there is probably one installed on your system. Check your documentation for the location.
In the unlikely event that there isn't one (it could be bash or ksh or ash), change $( ... ) to ` ... `:
I got this script from Anbu which when run would append the date portion to the end of my files.
*********************************
dt=$( date "+%b-%d-%Y" )
for i in *
do
mv $i ${i}".${dt}"
done

You mean insert the date into the filename (append means to place at the end).
First you need to break the file name into its various parts: name, date and suffix:
Then you need to convert the date. You show two different formats, so two different conversion functions must be used. The first format is the ridiculous MMDDYY; the second, I assume, is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
To determine which format the date is in, check the length:
