Hi,

for example suppose the file name is “ABTT2011081900000450002″
This is the report name for the server ABTT on 19th Aug 2011 for the report sequence number 45 for the report copy number 2.

I want to retrieve similar kind of reports for a particular date irrespective of report sequence number and report copy number.

I hope this information would be helpful to understand the query.

Regards,
Deepika Rohilla

The file name that exist in directory is in the format of “system_name+date+sequence number”

Please show one or two examples of actual report names.

Thanks a lot Tom,
I am able to run the script now.
But i am getting the error for the below command:

cp /REPORTGENERATOR/*$(date ‘+%Y%m%d’)* /HPA_CURRENT

The file name that exist in directory is in the format of “system_name+date+sequence number”

What Do I need to edit in the above command to copy the files that have the substring of today’s date.

Use the EDTF command.

EDTF  '/REPORTGENERATOR/move2current.sh'

The EDTF command opens a simple text file editor. If the /REPORTGENERATOR directory is shared out to the network, then you can use any PC editor to create the script file. Tom
