hi nasirgondal,
I also wanted such a script. It works fine but if the date is not exactly in YYYYMMDD format, lets say YYYYMDD or YYYYMMD format its not working. Is there any solution even for this. Appreciate your help
#! /bin/ksh
format=YYYYMMDD
YEAR=${format%????}
DAY=${format#??????}
MON=${format#$YEAR}
MON=${MON%$DAY}
echo $MON/$DAY/$YEAR
