Simple Question

[ilovelinux2006]

Hey everyone,

I have about 10 files in my directory

06_12_2006
06_19_2006
06_20_2006
07_05_2006
07_02_2006
08_15_2006
08_22_2006
ect:

I configured this script:

month=$(date +%m)
year=$(date +%Y)

mv /directory/$month_(?myquestion?)_$year /backup


How Do I make the (?myquestion?) a wildcard? So it will accept any of the numbers 02, 15, 22, 12, 05, any number. Thanks!!!!!!!!

NVM Thank you! "*" as simple as that!

A safer way:
mv /directory/$month_[0-3][0-9]_$year /backup

Hope This Helps, PH.
