Date capture & filter

pradeep84in · #1 01-31-2013

Dear All,

I am capturing system date and creating the file by using that time stamp, file is getting appended with checks of application & database check logs.

But when the date is in between 1 to 9 both inclusive, it appends a single space to file name but after 9th it works fine.

Code:

tmstmp=`date +%e%b%Y_%H%M%S`
file_name=Daily_Check"_"${tmstmp}.out

Code:

tmstmp=`date +%e%b%Y_%H%M%S`
tmstmp=${tmstmp# }
file_name=Daily_Check"_"${tmstmp}.out

Use %d instead of %e to get the day zero-padded, or use %-e to rule out padding (may be misleading:

Code:

$ date +%-e%-m%Y -dtomorrow
122013

Thanks your code works absolutely fine, can you explain what had happened here and how it had removed the blank space from the in between....
