How to find the date format
I have a requirement where the user send a file. If the file is empty they put datetimestamp(YYYYMMDDHH:MM:SS) otherwise they would be data.
I can do cat and get whats in file but how can I see if the data is date timestamp.
In short,
if format(data in file) = YYYYMMDDHH:MM:SS then 'false' else 'true'
how do i find format(data in file) = YYYYMMDDHH:MM:SS
