I am trying to get a file via ftp that has a variable name but always ends
in .out.done. It will always be the only file in the directory that fits
this pattern. I need to not only "get" it, but rename it when I am done. The
remote system is UNIX (if that matters).

Is there a way to put the results of "ls *.out.done" into a variable on my
HP? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael
