[arm-allstar] Archive Directory Filename Customization

[Doug Crompton]

John,

 We will take that into consideration but Linux has great tools to do this
in so many ways externally. Here is an example:

I created dummy files in /tmp/test as such:

ls /tmp/test

20180130055931.wav  20180130055951.wav  20180130060111.wav
20180130060131.wav
20180130055941.wav  20180130060101.wav  20180130060121.wav

Then ran the below script and had the resultant files -

 ls /tmp/test2

01-30-2018-05-59-31.wav  01-30-2018-05-59-51.wav  01-30-2018-06-01-11.wav
01-30-2018-06-01-31.wav
01-30-2018-05-59-41.wav  01-30-2018-06-01-01.wav  01-30-2018-06-01-21.wav

Of course the format could be changed to whatever you want by changing the
script.

#!/bin/bash

FILES=/tmp/test
DestFiles=/tmp/test2

for f in $FILES/*
do
  #echo "Processing $f file..."
  # take action on each file. $f store current file name
  f=${f##*/}
  ext="${f##*.}"
  dt="${f%.*}"

  yr=${dt:0:4}
  mn=${dt:4:2}
  dy=${dt:6:2}

  hr=${dt:8:2}
  mi=${dt:10:2}
  se=${dt:12:2}

  echo "Filename $dt.$ext changed to $mn-$dy-$yr-$hr-$mi-$se.$ext"
  cp $FILES/$dt.$ext $DestFiles/$mn-$dy-$yr-$hr-$mi-$se.$ext

done
