Sed Command Issue

mojoman · #1 (**permalink**) 3 Weeks Ago

Hello,

I want to remove the / found when executing the date command

When I use:

date +%D | sed 's/\///'

I get:

1105/09

I tried date +%D | sed 's/\*$///'

I need to remove all / from the date command
but it does not seem to work

Code:

date +%D | sed 's/\///g'

Scott's answer,
date +%D | sed 's/\///g'
is perfectly correct, but not as readable as
date +%D| sed 's-/--g

But why can't you just use
date +%m%d%y
?
