Info/Summary
With bash scripting you can enclose commands in back ticks or parantheses. This works great for labling files, the following wil create a file name with the date appended to it.
Methods
Backticks -
$ echo myfilename-"`date +"%d-%m-%Y"`"
$(parantheses) -
:
$ echo myfilename-$(date +"%d-%m-%Y")
Example Usage:
echo "Hello World" > "/tmp/hello-$(date +"%d-%m-%Y").txt"
(creates text file '/tmp/hello-28-09-2022.txt' with text inside of it)
Note, in Linux quotes are your friend, best practice to enclose the file name to prevent issues with spaces and such in variables.
