Text manipulation with sed/awk in a bash script
Guys, I have a variable in a script that I want to transform to into something else Im hoping you guys can help. It doesn't have to use sed/awk but I figured these would be the simplest.
DATE=20160120
I'd like to transform $DATE into "01-20-16" and move it into a new variable called $SIMPLEDATE
the format is always the same, notice I need to transform 2016 in just 16 and move it around.
thanks

ppi::transform::updatecopyright
PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright(3)
NAME
PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright - Demonstration PPI::Transform class
SYNOPSIS
my $transform = PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright->new(
name => 'Adam Kennedy'
);
$transform->file('Module.pm');
DESCRIPTION
PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright provides a demonstration of a typical PPI::Transform class.
This class implements a document transform that will take the name of an author and update the copyright statement to refer to the current
year, if it does not already do so.
METHODS
new
my $transform = PPI::Transform::UpdateCopyright->new(
name => 'Adam Kennedy'
);
The "new" constructor creates a new transform object for a specific author. It takes a single "name" parameter that should be the name (or
longer string) for the author.
Specifying the name is required to allow the changing of a subset of copyright statements that refer to you from a larger set in a file.
name
The "name" accessor returns the author name that the transform will be searching for copyright statements of.
TO DO
- May need to overload some methods to forcefully prevent Document objects becoming children of another Node.
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
