Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Date increment in the format "YYYYMMDD" Post 302082416 by bin-doph on Wednesday 2nd of August 2006 05:27:50 AM

Hi,

Id go with a perl-onliner like this

Code:
perl -ne '$foo=time + 86400;@bar=localtime($foo);printf("%d%02d%02d",$bar[5]+1900,$bar[4]+1,$bar[3])'

note the 86400 which is the amount of seconds for a day. The advantage of this is, you dont have to care if your month has 30 or 31 days.

alternativly you could use something like this

Code:
expr `date +%Y%m%d` + 1

But that will give you a wrong date at the last day of the month.
