Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Date string conversion within a file Post 302423386 by chrissycc on Friday 21st of May 2010 02:32:34 AM

Thanks for the responses and apologies for the formatting of the initial post. I went with Tyler's bash solution (I understand what is going on here, as opposed to the perl one). File was a bit longer than I expected, at just shy of 10 million records, and took nearly 24 hours to run, but the output is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks very much!
