I have 4 names (AA,BB,CC,DD) in a config file. This has been used in a script.
I am trying to get the output to be saved as
Source_Server_Path="/dev/FtpData_Files/START_STOP_"$1"_"$Current_Date"" where $1 will be any one in the names.
$Current_Date has to be in the format 05Jun2013.
$ foo="/bar/quux/$(date +%d%b%Y)" $ echo "${foo}" /bar/quux/07Jun2013 See also man date.
Sample script/method ... Try if it helps
config.txt
AA,BB,CC,DD Script.sh
file=$1 config=`cat $file | awk -F "," '{print $1}'` #It will take AA .. whatever parameter you pass Current_Date=`date +%d%b%Y` echo START_STOP_"$config"_"$Current_Date" How to run
sh script.sh config.txt Output
START_STOP_AA_07Jun2013
