Greetings,
I have a shell script which duplicates a file and then renames the
duplicate file; the trick is that the duplicate file needs to have the
same permissions as the original file. For example:
1. Open file A.txt
2. Manipulate A.txt
3. Save A.txt as A.txt.tmp
4. Rename A.txt.tmp

I assume that there is some set of variables I can look at to find various
attributes of A.txt, so that $APerm = permissions(A.txt) or something, so
I can do chmod $APerm B.txt in step 5.

Once I got out of the mindset of having to use a bash shell script for the

I have an urgent need inside a shell script to replace a filename within

Hi Ryan:
I believe I have some link at the office. I will try and remember
to forward them to you on Monday.
In the interim, take a look at the awk command. This will allow
you to reformat the input lines (as well as many other things).
For a start the command:
awk '{print $10 $7 $8
small corrections, the symbol is not needed, awk can read
directly from a file too.
if you want to sort it, it is easier if month is converted to
its numeric equivalent1 to 12 and print a string like:
mmddhhmmss
the following script does that on a test string.
hope it helps
