I want to create a filename that has a form that contains the current day of the week in it.
One thought I have is to extract the day from the date command and put into a variable, such as doing :
#!/bin/sh
date | awk '{print $1}'> $DAY
The question I have is -> how do I make this variable name to be part of a filename.
I want to have the filename be something like � todays_file.Tuesday�
by having :
FILENAME = todays_file
print $FILENAME.$DAY
Any advice to this script challenged newbie is appreciated
