Ok - here are a few obvious things from first glance:

Why are you using random numbers for file names ? Start at 1, then increment by 1.
Where does $exname get initialized ?
You probably meant strftime "%Y%m%d", localtime (Missing % in front of Y)
You are overwriting the same file in each "$file loop. Move the random number, and file name concatanation INSIDE the loop
Close the file you open inside the loop, inside the loop.
Indent your code better for readability
Post sample output, and/or expected output.
