Hi Folks,

Just a final update on this for anyone that is interested, the code below is as used to correct the layout of the date field from the old format to the required one - just incase anyone should find it useful.

Code:

$> nawk -F, '
> BEGIN { OFS = "," }
>
> $6 ~ "/"  {
>         split($6, a, "/")
>         $6 = sprintf("19%s-%s-%s",
>                 sprintf("%02d", a[3]),
>                 sprintf("%02d", a[1]),
>                 sprintf("%02d", a[2]) )
>
>         print
> }' < test_file
