Full Discussion: Date format to be changed from DDMMYYYY to YYYYMMDD
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Date format to be changed from DDMMYYYY to YYYYMMDD Post 302779021 by djrulz123 on Tuesday 12th of March 2013 03:57:22 AM

in order to find out the date of the files i have used the below code

ls|rev|cut -d "." -f2|cut -d "_" -f1|rev

this gives me the dates of all the files in the format ddmmyyyy.

now if i can change this to YYYYMMDD then my problem is solved. I would be able to bring the files which have this above calculated date greater than the last run date.
can this be done??

---------- Post updated at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:17 PM ----------

if the date can be changed to YYYYMMDD then i can use the code below to bring the relative files.

Code:
set -vx
TARGET_DIR=$2
SOURCE_DIR=$1
LOGDIR=/info_d05/visage/SrcFiles/IQAlign/Log_Files
b=`cat $LOGDIR/last_date.txt`
for i in $SOURCE_DIR/Novawise*
do
 fname=`basename $i`
 p=`echo $fname|rev|cut -d "." -f2|cut -d "_" -f1|rev|something`
  if [ $p -gt $b ]
  then
   cp $SOURCE_DIR/$fname $TARGET_DIR/
  fi
  
done

the something part needs to be completed...
