PERL : hhmiss - Date format check and replace
I have a filename,
Quote:
my $file = "abc_yyyy_mm_dd_hhmiss.txt";
This can be any of any format,
Quote:
my $file = "abc_yyyy_mm_dd_hh:mi:ss.txt";
my $file = "abc_yyyy_mm_dd_hh/mi/ss.txt";
I want to check if the filename has hours,mins and seconds part. If it is present, i want to replace it with a " * " (star symbol)
output needed:
Quote:
my $file = "abc_yyyy_mm_dd_*.txt";
IMP: The time part can be in any pattern.
How can this be done?
Any help willl be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
