I have a job that needs to run daily. I need to write a shell script which will pick up a input file that is generated daily. The generated file is going to have the jobname with sysdate and some more characters appended to it. In this, jobname is going to remain same, the syadate will change daily and the last few characters will be generated daily automatically.
e.g. the name of the file will be : on 26 th - abc20030826123 on 27 th - abc20030827234 on 28 th - abc20030828568

This actually should not be that hard, you have known portions of the file, the abcYYYMMDD part, so you could easily search for that, and it would be unique as only one file is generated that day.
I simply used: #!/bin/ksh getfile=$(ls | grep abc$(date +"%Y%m%d")) $getfile
That did a list of files, grep'd for the date in the specific abcYYYYMMDD format as that is not changing, and produced one file.
