date command option e Help needed please!!
Hi All,
I was trying to get the date in format "Feb2" I tried
Quote:
1)
`date +'%b%e'`
output: Feb 2
2)
`date +'%b%d'`
output: Feb02
3)
`date +'%h%e'`
output: Feb 2
option "e" giving me a padded space and getting the result as "Feb 2". Though its working fine for dates 10 to 31.
Please suggest me how to get rid of this space before date.
Thanks
Olivia
