Appending timestamp problem
Hi,

I am trying to insert a timestamp after all the file names in a folder,after the timestamp is created in the filename the file size is becoming zero bytes.

please tell me where I am doing it wrong.

I have declared the variable in starting of my script.

Code:
timestamp=`date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S'`
Src_fdr=$edw/ntr/tog 

cd $Src_fd


find $SOURCE_FOLDER -name '*.csv' | while read FILENAME
do
      < "$FILENAME" >   "${FILENAME}#"$timestamp".csv"  
done

Regards,
Shruthi

Code:
% FILENAME=file.csv
% timestamp=00.00.00
% echo "${FILENAME}#"$timestamp".csv"   
file.csv#00.00.00.csv

And #00.00.00.csv is commentary so you redirect in the original file.

You do not need redirection in this task at all. Try this

Code:
find $SOURCE_FOLDER -name '*.csv' | while read FILENAME; do
       echo mv "$FILENAME" "${FILENAME%.csv}-$timestamp.csv"
done

and see whether everything is alright.
