    Hello,

    I had written a shell script that accepts input file as cmd line argument and process this file.
    Code:
    if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
    if [ -f $1 ]; then
       . $1
       LOGFILE="$LOG_FILE/MIG_BIOS.log";
          get_input_file
    
    else
       ERROR_CODE=MSCRM0005_003
       error "$ERROR_CODE : Input file $1 is not available";
       exit 1
    fi
    else
    echo "usage : $usage";
    fi
    
    I want a help in writting a get_input_file function which checks for file name format.
    My input file name format is MIG_CR_<TYPE>_<TIMESTAMP>.<EXT>
    Code:
    get_input_file()
    {
    FILE = '$1'
    #checking file exist or not
    if [ ! -f $FILE ]; then
       echo "$FILE : does not exists"
       exit 1
    elif [ ! -r $FILE ]; then
       echo "$FILE: can not read"
       exit 2
    fi
    // TO do
    // check file name format is correct or not
    }
    
    Can anyone tell me how can I check the format of file name?
    Please help me out. Thanks in advance. :eek:
