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 _________________________________________________________________ Call friends with PC-to-PC calling -- FREE http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline
