Creating a directory with a date-based name



Hi Ya,

I'm a zsh newbie.

I have the following bash script, which will create a directory say
06Dec03 if this directoryy exists then create 06Dec03v2

I need to enhance it to create 06Dec03v3,4,5,6 etc. should these
directories exist.

How would this best be done in zsh?

dirbackup="c:/backup/mysqlnext/"
cd $dirbackup
eval dat=$(date.exe '+%d%b%y')

if ! mkdir $dat
then
   dat=$dat"v2"
   if mkdir $dat
   then
   echo "created $dat"
   fi
fi
cd $dat
zzapper (vim & zsh)

vim -c ":%s/^/WhfgTNabgureRIvzSUnpxre/|:%s/[R-T]/ /Ig|:normal ggVGg?"
