[Download-List] Date Stamping HOLD File Name?

[Jeffery G. Summers]

My workaround for items we have created paragraphs for is to:

!mv <<downloadfilename>> `date +%Y%m%d`<<downloadfilename>>

But I'm hoping I can do this without a bang.

Jeff

So far, I have not been able to determine how to do this and we have been
wanting to do this for years.

Maybe someone has learned a way to do this and will share it?

This is a question I've had for a long time and never have figured out how
to do it.  Is date-stamping the output file name possible with DOWNLOAD?

Essentially I want to have TODAYSDATE.MYFILENAME.EXT (or
20070905.STUDENTS.CSV).  Any suggestions?  Is this something simple I've
missed?

Thanks!
