The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

9.0
Zone: Linux
I am using SUSE 10.0.  I have some files that appear either as .zip or .txt randomly.  Each file has a date / time stamp connected to them.  They are in the following format.

BOBapp04-04-2006@19-00-05.txt.zip
or
BOBapp04-04-2006@19-00-05.txt

    The "BOBapp04-04-2006@19-00-" are standard.  I can add in a date function to that portion of the file.  The 05 is the second and that seems to be random within 20 seconds depending on when the script actually runs.  I would like to determine if it is a txt or zip, extract if it is a zip, then change the file name to something that is not random (but keep the date functionality).

Does anyone have any recommendations?  I'm giving alot of points for this as I want to test the script to get it working before giving out the points!
