Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Converting date DD MM YYYY to DD MON YYYY Post 302510975 by Adamm on Tuesday 5th of April 2011 11:40:10 AM

Dahu: thank you, that was helpful.

Is there a way to do it the other way round as well? That means from i.e. 26 Mar 2011 get 20110326?

Tried the following, but not much success. Does date really only accept date in YYYYMMDD format?
Code:
date +'%d %m %Y %H:%M:%S' -d "2011Mar26"
date +'%d %m %Y %H:%M:%S' -d "26 Mar 2011"

Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	      Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates(3pm)

NAME
Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates - Validate Dates and Times SYNOPSIS
use Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates qw(date_and_time); # In a DFV profile... constraint_methods => { # 'pp' denotes AM|PM for 12 hour representation my_time_field => date_and_time('MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss pp'), } DESCRIPTION
date_and_time Note: This is a new module is a new addition to Data::FormValidator and is should be considered "Beta". This constraint creates a regular expression based on the format string passed in to validate your date against. It understands the following symbols: Y year (numeric) M month (numeric) D day (numeric) h hour m minute s second p AM|PM Other parts of the string become part of the regular expression, so you can do perlish things like this to create more complex expressions: 'MM?/DD?/YYYY|YYYY-MM?-DD?' Internally Date::Calc is used to test the functions. BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
This older, more awkward interface is supported: # In a Data::FormValidator Profile: validator_packages => [qw(Data::FormValidator::Constraints::Dates)], constraints => { date_and_time_field => { constraint_method => 'date_and_time', params=>['MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss pp'], # 'pp' denotes AM|PM for 12 hour representation }, } SEE ALSO
o Data::FormValidator o Data::FormValidator::Constraints::DateTime - This alternative features returning dates as DateTime objects and validating against the date formats required for the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. AUTHOR
