Data Thanks again, daptal

I hate to tell you this, but it still dosen't seem to go well, due to my Japanese environment.

test.txt 30日

I'll try it more with your precious hint...

Can you post a snippet of ls -l output or whatever you intend to use. so depending on the output of the command refining of the script becomes easy.

Power Hi Daptal

Many thanks for your advise. Here's normal ls -l output at my current environment.

>ls -l test.txt
-rw-r----- 1 jpXXXX appXXXX 0 3月 31日 13:09 test.txt

I'm not sure you can view our own character, but just in case, "3月 31日" means March 31 (月 is month 日 is day in Japanese).

And what my intention is I'd like to copy as back up with timestamp if there is already the same name file in the directory.
Following simple script can work on other distribution but not on Soralis...

if ( -f ${FNAME} ) then
set TSP = `ls -d -l --time-style='+%Y%m'$FNAME | awk '{print $6; }'`;
mv $FANME $TSP_$FNAME
endif

Sorry, I should post my intention more earlier.
If you need any other information, pls let me know.

Again, thanks all of your help.

@elph: does the script I posted here https://www.unix.com/302408599-post10.html work for you ?

Power Hi jlliagre

Sorry for my late reply and rudeness, jlliagre.
I tried your script on my environment and got the error as follows;

> sh test.csh
test.csh: `ts=$' unexpected

With set command it also didn't go well at my place in C shell, as we usually use C shell here.
(Our /bin/ksh should be too old or lack of some module, I'm afraid)

But still I'd like to try modifying your good sample for this trial. Many thanks for all of your kind attention.

Rgs,
elph
