[SAC-HELP] naming files

[Januka Attanayake]

Greetings,
I have a question regarding naming files. Assume that I have a sac file by
the name
2006.300.33.SDMD.BHZ.R.SAC
say, If I want to extract only the 2006.300.33.SDMD part for naming purposes
after I do certain calculations on it, how do I do it?
would something like this work?

set bb name $1$.$STATION$ ?
w %name.z

It didn't so far for me?
Would like to hear any suggestions from any one out there....

Thank you.

Januka
