Single digit date to double digit date.
I have a var storing date
var=`date`
Now the date is returned as
Mon Feb 2 00:25:48 PST 2009
Is there any way to check the date field alone ("2" in above case) and if its a single digit then add a prefix 0 to it and store the result in same variable "var"
My intention in above case is to get date as
Mon Feb 02 00:25:48 PST 2009
Plz help.

I have a script like this--
#!/bin/ksh
echo "To pad a 0 before digits from 1-9"
for i in $*
do
echo $i | sed 's//'0'/g'
done
I run this script as
ksh name 1 2 23 34
The output should be
01 02 23 34
Help me in modifying this script.
Thanks

Folks,
Is there a simple way to replace one digit by two digit using sed.
Example,
mydigit1918_2006_8_8_lag1.csv should be
mydigit1918_2006_08_08_lag01.csv.
I tried this way, but doesn't work.
echo mydigit1989_2006_8_8_lag1.csv|sed 's/]/0]/'
Thank you, (5 Replies)

NAME
tartdates - Special date configuration for LinuxTaRT
DESCRIPTION
LinuxTaRT uses a configuration file called specialdates to enable the user to display a specific tagline on certain special dates. The name
and location of this file is specified in the LinuxTaRT configuration file ~/.tartrc, but is usually:
~/.tartdates
PARAMETERS
Each line of the special date file consists of a day of the year expressed as a two digit month, a forward-slash (/), a two digit date, a
colon (:) and a line of text.
mm/dd:tagline text
Any line that does not conform to this specification will be treated as a comment. Comments may also be specified by prefixing text with a
# symbol. Using this method, you can place a comment behind a date line.
EXAMPLES
01/01:Happy New Year!!
Will use "Happy New Year!!" as the tagline when the date is January 1st.
12/25:Merry Christmas to all!
Displays "Merry Christmas to all!" as your tagline on Christmas day.
