capturing the time stamp

Hi All,

I am working on a korn shell script.
i have a file such as:
DS.PETSCO.20060601203514.20060531.ctl_20060717124431

i have 2 problems here.

1) i have to capture the time stamp from
the above file i.e this number 20060717124431.
format of time stamp is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.

can anyone plz let me know how do i capture the time stamp.

2) the second problem is, i have to calculate the next 27 hours
from the above time stamp.

SAY time in the above timestamp is 12:44:31 so i have to add
27 hours to this time stamp.

Note:when i add 27 hours please note that date also changes.
so i have to echo the new date and time when i add 27 hours
to the exisitng time stamp.

can anyone plx let me know how I do it.

thanks
pavi
