I think this will give u idea

ls -ltr *.xml > tmp

tar -xvf tmp tmp.tar

where temp is directory name

[kiss4amiss]

edho naaku telisina kastha knowledge tho...assuming full_list.txt contains the file names of *.xml, this would work...but give a try first.....

#!/bin/bash
full_list=`cat full_list.txt`
for file_name in $full_list
do
name=`echo $file_name | cut -d'.' -f1`
find / -name $file_name -exec tar -cvzf ${name}.tar $file_name {} \;
done

sorry baa indhaka nenu ichina script thappu...
nenu misunderstanf cheskunna...

[kiss4amiss]

This should probably work.....change the names and directory structures accordingly to ur need...

#!/bin/bash
full_list=`cat /tmp/full_list.txt`
for file_name in $full_list
do
find /tmp -name $file_name -exec tar rvPf /tmp/dumpfile.tar {} \;
done

/tmp/ful_list.txt contains the list of the .xml file names
/tmp/dumpfile.tar is the tar file need to be created.
Here I am searching for files only in /tmp. Change accordingly

kadhu baa

directory path :    /srcFiles/abc

these are the files in that  directory

20110130. xml
20110227. xml
20110329. xml
20110428. xml
.
.
.
.
.
20080130. xml



i want to rename all the files in this directory to

20110130<sysdate>. xml
20110227<sysdate>. xml
20110329<sysdate>. xml
20110428<sysdate>. xml
.
.
.
.
.
20080130<sysdate>. xml

[32kris]

i mean  append sysdate  befor the extension

[kiss4amiss]

cd /srcFiles/abc
ls *.xml > full_list.txt
full_list=`cat full_list.txt`
sdate=`date +%Y_%m_%d`
for $oldname in $full_list
do
name=`echo $oldname | cut -d'.' -f1`
newname=${name}${sdate}.xml
mv $oldname $newname
done
