Carriage Return at end of file
Hi, I have a script that outputs a file that contains the dates from the previous month, which is then used by our application to run processes on each date contained in the file. My problem is is that my script created a blank line at the bottom of the file which causes issues for our application. I'm looking for suggestions on how to stop or remove the last line/carriage return. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
Here is the current script:
echo "Creating DATES file. `date +"%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M:%S"`"
outdir=/test/iofiles
# ja fe ma ap ma ju ju ag se oc no de
set -A lasts 0 31 28 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31
typeset -Z2 dmonth dday
month=`date +%m`
year=`date +%y`
((pmonth=month-1))
rm $outdir/date.txt
day=1
while((day<(lasts[pmonth])+1)) ; do
dday=$day
dmonth=$pmonth
echo ${dmonth}/${dday}/${year} >> $outdir/date.txt
((day=day+1))
done
echo "DATES file created. `date +"%m-%d-%Y_%H:%M:%S"`"

data::faker::datetime
Data::Faker::DateTime(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Data::Faker::DateTime(3pm)
NAME
Data::Faker::DateTime - Data::Faker plugin
SYNOPSIS AND USAGE
See Data::Faker
DATA PROVIDERS
unixtime
Return a unix time (seconds since the epoch) for a random time between the epoch and now.
date
Return a random date as a string, using a random date format (see date_format).
time
Return a random time as a string, using a random time format (see time_format).
rfc822
Return an RFC 822 formatted random date. This method may not work on systems using a non-GNU strftime implementation (kindly let me
know if that is the case.)
ampm
Returns am or pm randomly (in the current locale) using one of the formats specified in ampm_format.
time_format
Return a random time format.
date_format
Return a random date format.

UTILITY METHODS
Data::Faker::DateTime::timestr($format);
Given a strftime format specifier, this method passes it through to POSIX::strftime along with a random date to display in that format.
Perl passes this through to the strftime function of your system library, so it is possible that some of the formatting tokens used
here will not work on your system.
NOTES AND CAVEATS
Be careful build timestamps from pieces
Be very careful about building date/time representations in formats that are not already listed here. For example if you wanted to get
a date that consists of just the month and day, you should NOT do this:
my $faker = Data::Faker->new();
print join(' ',$faker->month,$faker->dayofmonth)."
";
This is bad because you might end up with 'February 31' for example. Instead you should use the timestr utility function to provide
you a formatted time for a valid date, or better still, write a plugin function that does it:
my $faker = Data::Faker->new();
print $faker->my_short_date()."
";
package Data::Faker::MyExtras;
use base qw(Data::Faker);
use Data::Faker::DateTime;
__PACKAGE__->register_plugin(
my_short_date => sub { Data::Faker::DateTime::timestr('%M %e') },
);
POSIX::strftime
See the documentation above regarding the timestr utility method for some caveats related to strftime and your system library.
