Without setting multiple (crude) variables, I haven't come up with a good &
simple way to set the date variable in my "csh" shell script to grab a file
when the month rolls over.
Like this:
The file I want to copy into another script is in this format that I cannot
change:
"2006-September.txt"
.
..which will roll next month to "2006-October.txt", etc.
I could use the "date" command to do: 2006-09.txt or maybe 2006-Sep.txt
but I haven't found a simple way to set a variable make date spell out the
whole name of the month to match the file name.
Any tips on this one?
Best to all,
Jack
