Unzip, to rename or not to rename?

[pbdude]

I receive a file on a monthly basis that is zipped. The zipped file is timestamped like 2003-01.zip, so I put it into a variable. Unzipping is no issue at all however, the txt file within the zipped file is a different name each month. I need this file to be the same name for other processes to handle. Is it possible to do this with unzip? If not, does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,
pbdude

Is there a problem with renaming it after unzipping it?

Guessing the filename is 2003-01.txt, something like mv ????-??.txt thismonth.txt? Annihilannic.

You could use...
[tt]
gunzip -c 2003-01.zip > thismonth.txt
[/tt]
What is the name of the zipped file that's changing each month? And what do you want it to be?

Hope this helps!
