Try this,


Let vSource = 'C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\ABC Dashboard\01SourceFile;
Let vArchive = 'C:\Users\XXX\Desktop\ABC Dashboard\01SourceFile\Archive';


For Each vFile in FileList('$(vSource)\*.*')

Let vNewFile = Replace(Subfield('$(vFile)','\','-1'),'.' & Subfield('$(vFile)','.','-1'), Date(Today(),'YYYYMMDD') & '.' & Subfield('$(vFile)','.','-1'));

EXECUTE cmd.exe /c Ren "$(vFile)" "$(vNewFile)";

NEXT;

EXECUTE cmd.exe /c Move /Y "$(vSource)\*" "$(vArchive)"
;

You can use this command

cd /home/webapps/project1/folder1
for f in *.csv
do
  cp
-v "$f" /home/webapps/project1/folder2/"${f%.csv}"$(date +%m%d%y).csv
done
