Dear All,
My OS : Solaris and Shell is ksh.
I have a requirement to assign date to a variable.
I tried following and failed.
myvar=date '+ %y%m%d_%h'
After that I need to do an awk fo all the files containing the same date and hour. (File name consists of date and hour)
eg. Myfile_NAME_020930_1325.0010
Therefore I need to awk all files that created this hour.
Appreciate your Help.

Sorry. That should have been
find . -name "*$myvar*" -exec ls -l {} \;

Here you go:
myvar=`date + %y%m%d_%h`
Use Backquotes
