[Solved] Question for Perderabo on date calc
Hi,
First of all, thanks for all the awesome suggestions on this forum. This helps all the UNIX enthusiast like me.
Now, I had a similar requirement as mentioned in a very old post here:
Question about Perderabo's "Days Elapsed Between Two Dates"
But I am struggling what to change in the following to give me the month as MM always. At the moment it is truncating the 0 from single digit months.
Quote:
./datecalc -a 2003 11 12 - 1 | read y m d ; echo ${y}${m}${d}
E.g.
20130425 instead of 2013425
Thanks!

urlencode
URLENCODE(1) GridSite Manual URLENCODE(1)
NAME
urlencode - convert strings to or from URL-encoded form
SYNOPSIS
urlencode [-m|-d] string [string ...]
DESCRIPTION
urlencode encodes strings according to RFC 1738.
That is, characters A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ and - are passed through unmodified, but all other characters are represented as %HH, where HH is their
two-digit upper-case hexadecimal ASCII representation. For example, the URL http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/ becomes
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gridpp.ac.uk%2F
urlencode converts each character in all the strings given on the command line. If multiple strings are given, they are concatenated with
separating spaces before conversion.
OPTIONS
-m Instead of full conversion, do GridSite "mild URL encoding" in which A-Z a-z 0-9 . = - _ @ and / are passed through unmodified. This
results in slightly more human-readable strings but the application must be prepared to create or simulate the directories implied
by any slashes.
-d Do URL-decoding rather than encoding, according to RFC 1738. %HH and %hh strings are converted and other characters are passed
through unmodified, with the exception that + is converted to space.
EXIT CODES
0 is always returned.
