format date/time presentation
1) i am trying to print the timeframe of a log file using the start/end date/time being extracted from the file itself. my problem is how to convert the following numeric date format to the one that i prefer:
Start time: 0204161129
End time : 0204171431
into:
Start time: Apr 16 2002 11:29 AM
End time : Apr 17 2002 14:31 PM
I have a script that is working, but with a horrible 40+ lines into it, and i wanted to, at least, improve it.
2) also, for the "man date" description below, how can i get all those variables, and the value they represent? is there a command # date '+....' for a variable to specify AM or PM on the date/time? i think this will be a very good info too.
thanks a lot!
==============================================
DESCRIPTION
The date utility writes the date and time to standard output
or attempts to set the system date and time. By default,
the current date and time will be written.
Specifications of native language translations of month and
weekday names are supported. The month and weekday names
used for a language are based on the locale specified by the
environment variable LC_TIME; see environ(5).
The following is the default form for the "C" locale:
%a %b %e %T %Z %Y
