Hi,

I got a problem here..

month = index(Months, substr(Date, 1, 3)) this lcommand is giving the value as 13

so the output in the script is vary...


i found the following solution for this but it is just as managable..
Code:
#! /bin/sh
start_date=May122011
 New_date=` nawk -v Date=${start_date} '
 BEGIN { Months="JanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepOctNovDec"
 year = substr(Date, 6, 4) + 0;
 day = substr(Date, 4, 2) + 0;
 month = (index(Months, substr(Date, 1, 3))+2)/3;
 printf "%04d%02d%02d", year, month, day;
 exit;
}
'`
 echo $New_date

Plz check this. Correct me if any thing wrong..

Thanks & regards,
venkat. Smilie
