PERL String to Date (Custom format yyyymmdd to dd-mon-yyyy)
Hi All,
I am learning PERL for one of the projects, and in one of these scripts, I read a flat text file and print in the terminal.
The problem is, the text file has a date field. The format is yyyymmdd. I need to display this as dd-mon-yyyy.
Any ideas to do this? Thanks a lot for the help.
Regards
Guru

Note: I wrongly tagged this as PERL DATE::MANIP. Looks like I need to download and use this. Is it not included in standard distribution. If not, I can't use it to.

Hello,
I am writing a script that parses different logs and produces one. In the source files, the date is in DD MM YYYY HH24:MI:SS format. In the output, it should be in DD MON YYY HH24:MI:SS (ie 25 Jan 2010 16:10:10)
To extract the dates, I am using shell substrings, i.e.:

LEARN ABOUT SUSE
alevt-date
ALEVT-DATE(1) Teletext time ALEVT-DATE(1)
NAME
alevt-date - display/set time received via Teletext
SYNOPSIS
alevt-date [options]
DESCRIPTION
alevt-date displays the time received from a Teletext source. It can be used to set the system time. The date is not interpreted (not
even transmitted on most channels). So it allows only adjustment of +/-12 hours. The default allowed adjustment is limited to +/-2 hours
(use -delta to change). Without the -set option it just displays the date in the format of the date(1) command.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-set Set system time from time received via Teletext.
-delta seconds Maximum allowed adjustment made to the system time. The default is 7200 seconds (2 hours) and the maximum that may be
given is 12 hours.
-format string Format string to used to print the time. Look at strftime(3) for possible control sequences.
-vbi device Use the given device name (default: /dev/vbi0).
-timeout seconds If the time can't be detected in seconds, the program is terminated with a SIGALRM.
--help Show summary of options.
--version Show version of program.
Before starting this program, you have to set the TV channel with another program like xawtv of set-tv.
Note: This program does not set the battery backed up clock of your computer. clock -w will do this.
FILES
/dev/vbi*
SEE ALSO
alevt(1x), alevt-cap(1), strftime(3), date(1), clock(8).
BUGS
This program is just a toy. The time transmitted by the TV stations is more than inaccurate. Some are within a few seconds of your local
time reference but others are more then 15 minutes off. You've been warned. (And don't assume the pkt8/30 time is better. It's even
worse.)
No bug reports to <froese@gmx.de> *g*.
