Again, I am in need of some advice.
Earlier I was shown how to have awk create folders for me. That was so cool and helpful, but now I am exploring the posibilities of combining operations with bash scripts.
Now, I am creating the directories with the bash script, and then I want awk to print to those directories. My first error is that I dont know how to open up communication between the shell proper and awk, which is annoying, but also I wanted the shell to date the directories, which was easy enough but I cant figure out how to have awk match those file names, seeing as the date is going to change... daily.
I am wondering, is there a way to use a regular expression in the output path, so it will always identify the first part of the directory name and the reg expression will identify the date?
Or, is there a way to work the date straight into the file path so that it updates with the system time as well. I am using:
Code:
date +%F
