BASH SCRIPT - Insert date into cells in cvs file
Hi, I'm looking to accomplish the following.
Insert current date into three places/cells within a cvs, every time the bash script is executed.

The cells are column A,B,C row 2. Row 1 is reserved for the headers.

The file name is always orders.csv. These three cells we always have an old date so they need to be updated when the script is ran.


Thank you
