Getting data with unstable space
Please notice the date output. the Oct 3, has 2 spaces after Oct.
i want to have an awk or sed that will get the exact space, data. Because if you are GREPING a syslog file. Date and spaces are very important, else you cant get the right data

Code:
$  date
Fri Oct  3 06:03:35 MST 2014

Output:
date|awk '{print $2,$3}'
Oct 3


I can achieve this by: 
$ date|awk '{print $2,"",$3}'
Oct  3

But the problem is, when october reach double digit,like october 10-31, below command are not working anymore

Code:
$ date|awk '{print $2,"",$3}'

because EXAMPLE TODAY is October 10

Code:
$date
Fri Oct 10 06:03:35 MST 201

this command will work perfectly fine
date|awk '{print $2,$3}'

But what awk and sed. will get what ever kind of date.

NAME

       dm_date - print out the system date and time

SYNOPSIS

       This performs the same operation as the unix 'date' command, but using the Date::Manip module.

	  dm_date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]

DESCRIPTION

       This displays information about the current system time, or some other time. Options are:

       -h, --help
	   Print online help.

       -d STRING, --date=STRING
	   Display time described by STRING. STRING can be any string which can be parsed by Date::Manip.  Please refer to the Date::Manip::Date
	   documentation for details.

       -f DATEFILE, --file=DATEFILE
	   This reads each line in DATEFILE, and extracts a date from it and prints out the information.

	   Blank lines and lines starting with a pound (#) are ignored. Lines not containing a valid date are also ignored.

       -r FILE, --reference=FILE
	   Displays the last modification time of FILE.

       -R, --rfc-2822
	   Displayc the date and time in RFC 2822 format.

	   Example: Mon, 07 Aug 2006 12:34:56 -0600

       -u, --utc, --universal
	   Converts the date to UT (GMT) and prints out the information.

       Only one of -d, -f, or -r should be included. If more than one is included, the first one from the list (-d, -f, -r) is used and any other
       is ignored.

       The format string starts with a plus (+) and contains any of the format directives described in Date::Manip::Date.
