Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Can we get Tuesday's date of the current week in UNIX Post 302836745 by Corona688 on Wednesday 24th of July 2013 03:22:34 PM

The most portable way is to use perl:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use POSIX qw(strftime);
# 1 = monday, subtract 1+days to get last sat.
# (1+days)-3 would be the nearest tuesday, so days-2.
my $stamp = time() - ((strftime("%u",localtime)-2) * 86400);
print strftime("%Y%m%d\n", localtime($stamp));
