I'm trying to rename files based on what time it is *now*....

echo `date` | cut -b 25-28,12-13,15-16,18-19

gives me what I want to use for the file name, but I
can't figure out how to get it into a variable for use
later in the script when I rename the file.  I've tried

variablename=

followed by the above commands surrounded by quotes,
parenthesis, back tics, etc. - all produce syntax errors.

Somebody point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
-jdr-
