So I am creating a variable and I want to echo it with an addition to the end like so:
I have a file: Filename-08-10-2017.txt
I create a variable:
myvariable=Filename*.txt
When I echo that variable:
echo $myvariable
it outputs Filename-08-10-2017.txt
But I want to change the name to .zip
So I am trying to go:
echo $myvariable.zip and have it output Filename-08-10-2017.txt.zip
however it outputs:
Filename*.txt.zip
How do I go about having it output the way I want?
Thanks.
EDIT:
I kind of figured it out.
I saved a new variable as $($myvariable) which saved the output.
