Hello All

I would like to rename files. Let me example what I am trying to do.

I have files coming in daily;
testfile200803101_508400.ZIP.PGP
testfile200703005_879850.ZIP.PGP

These are example only. one thing is for sure that it will start with "testfile" and ends with ".ZIP.PGP"

I would like to rename each file to two different name e.g.
testfile200803101_508400 and
testfile200803101.ZIP

I have tried to use sed
outfile=$(echo $INBOUND/$FILE_NAME | sed s/\.pgp/\.zip/)

where FILE_NAME=testfile*.PGP
but this will only replace pgp with zip

Thanks for your help

Try something like this:

#!/bin/ksh

FILE_NAME=testfile200803101_508400.ZIP.PGP
echo "INPUT FILE = $FILE_NAME"

OUTFILE1=$(echo $FILE_NAME | sed "s/\.ZIP\.PGP//")
echo "OUTPUT FILE 1 = $OUTFILE1"

OUTFILE2=$(echo $FILE_NAME | sed "s/testfile\([0-9]*\)_\([0-9]*\)\.ZIP\.PGP/testfile\1.ZIP/")
echo "OUTPUT FILE 2 = $OUTFILE2"
