Hi buddies,
I have a doubt. I want to display filename with date in the following format.Is there any way to do this. Kindly give me the solution.

I want to display the result in the following manner.
test1.txt 03/28/2008
testlog.log 02/20/2008

Please let me know one solution how to do this.

Thanks in advance

Your ls may have localization support which would basically mean if you can find a locale for which this (I would say zany but I'm suppressing it ... oops) date format is standard, that should do it.

Or, you could do something like this:

Code:

perl -e 'for $file (@ARGV) {
    @s = stat $file;
    @d = localtime($s[9]);  # or gmtime; stat[9] is mtime
    printf "$file %02i/%02i/%04i\n", $d[4]+1, $d[3], $d[5]+1900 }' list of files here
