Hi,

Another solution:
Code:
$ cat script.awk
BEGIN {
    m["JAN"] = "01"
    m["FEB"] = "02"
    m["MAR"] = "03"
    m["APR"] = "04"
    m["MAY"] = "05"
    m["JUN"] = "06"
    m["JUL"] = "07"
    m["AUG"] = "08"
    m["SEP"] = "09"
    m["OCT"] = "10"
    m["NOV"] = "11"
    m["DEC"] = "12"

    IGNORECASE = 1
    FS = "|"
}

{
    # Dates are fields nš3 and nš6.

    # Get day (first two characters), month (next three characters) and
    # year (last four characters).
    day = substr($3, 0, 2)
    month = substr($3, 3, 3)
    year = substr($3, 6)
    $3 = m[month] "\\" day "\\" year

    day = substr($6, 0, 2)
    month = substr($6, 3, 3)
    year = substr($6, 6)
    $6 = m[month] "\\" day "\\" year

    OFS = "|"
    print
}

$ awk -f script.awk infile

Regards,
Birei
