apologies, this is what i have

Code:
cat $1 | awk -F, '{print  $1 "," $2}' | sed '1d' | sed 's/IE//' | sed 's/^\(.\{7\}\)/\1 /' | sed 's/^\(.\{9\}\)/\1 /' | sed 's/,/ /'  | awk '{ print $4 " " $1 " "  $2 " "  $3}'| sort -k4 -n

This is the output, the output is what i want but i want to get the dates look like "February 2008"

Code:
26/04/2008 1416658 6 0266
13/01/2009 1414244 9 0333
14/04/2010 1418044 4 0367
19/01/2007 1514244 2 0395
13/04/2010 1617482 6 0472
27/04/2010 1516657 7 0597
04/02/2010 1612892 4 0602
02/02/2008 1516760 5 0636
25/11/2009 1510244 6 0850
30/03/2010 1414235 5 1639
21/02/2009 1510106 1 2687

I am sure there are other better ways of improving my current script but it does what i want it to do fine, so please just help me with the date bit

Blind shot:

Code:
$ cat infile
03/02/2008 [AA] This is some data here.
26/04/2008 [BB] This is some data here.
$ sed '
s,/01/, January ,g
s,/02/, February ,g
s,/03/, March ,g
s,/04/, April ,g
' infile
03 February 2008 [AA] This is some data here.
26 April 2008 [BB] This is some data here.

this looks fine , how can i incorporate this to what i have ?
