Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Date after 5 days from current date in YYYYMMDD format Post 302458044 by vbe on Wednesday 29th of September 2010 11:50:19 AM

You would have to write a script which takes in account for instance like today:
we are month=09 day=29
If you add 5 to 29, you are a bit out of day range... ( you would have to reset day (+4) and add 1 to month value...)

---------- Post updated at 17:50 ---------- Previous update was at 17:31 ----------

Some clues:

# with this date format month position is 99 to 9999 and day 9 to 99 so:
Code:
ant:/home/vbe $ IN5DAYS=$(expr $(date +%Y%m%d) + 105);echo $IN5DAYS 
20101034      # 34 days sep had 30 so:
ant:/home/vbe $ IN5DAYS=$(expr $IN5DAYS - 30);echo $IN5DAYS        
20101004
octant:/home/vbe $
