Hi.

Running:

Code:

date -d "2016-12-30 23:50:33 GMT"

produces:

Code:

Fri Dec 30 17:50:33 CST 2016

For my time zone (Central).

In your case you would probably do something like:

Code:

date -d "$( cat $DATA/filein.xml )"

Looking at the man page for date should allow you to format it any way you want.

This was done in the environment:

Code:

OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 3.16.0-4-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian 8.6 (jessie) 
date (GNU coreutils) 8.23

There is also:

Code:

dateutils.dconv Convert DATE/TIMEs between calendrical systems. (man)
Path    : /usr/bin/dateutils.dconv
Version : 0.3.1
Type    : ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (S ...)
Help    : probably available with -h,--help
Home    : https://github.com/hroptatyr/dateutils

As well as on a Solaris system:

Code:

gdate -d "2016-12-30 23:50:33 GMT"

producing:

Code:

Fri Dec 30 17:50:33 CST 2016

For a system like:

Code:

OS, ker|rel, machine: SunOS, 5.11, i86pc
Distribution        : Solaris 11.3 X86
gdate date (GNU coreutils) 8.16

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
