date-extraction from a file in KSH
Hi, everyone,
Now I have a ".csv" file and I want to extract a string-like date value from the file, say, it is in the 2nd row of the file and it is in the fixed context like:
"
This is the file title, //Row 1
The lastest update happened on: 10-Mar-2006 //Row2
....//other irrelavent rows
"
I want to use KSH script to extract this value "10-Mar-2006", and also, I will need to write this value to a certain fixed place in another file,say,"updateRecord.txt", and it is in the context like:
"
This file is to record the lastest update time, //row 1
The latest update time is: _________ (I want to put the value extracted from source file to be here) //row2
//.....other rows
"
Anyone can provide any tips for me? Thanks a lot for ur help
