substring of a variable
I'm working in:
#!/bin/ksh My question: I have a variable latest_bus_date, which in in the format YYYYMMDD. I would like to create a new variable that is in the format of MMDDYY using the data stored in latest_bus_date. $latest_bus_date='20020304' The new variable should have: 030402 Any ideas? Thanks, blt123

This is done in /bin/ksh on Dynix/ptx 4.4.8:
This isn't the prettiest command ever, but it works from what I can tell... new_date="`echo $latest_bus_date |cut -c5-6``echo $latest_bus_date |cut -c7-8``echo $latest_bus_date | cut -c3-4`" echo $new_date
