Convert string (YYYYMMDD) format to date in Sun OS
Hi All
I need help in converting a string of YYYYMMDD format to date in Sun OS and then find out if the day is a Wednesday or not. The "date -d" option is not working and your help is much appreciated.
The date command usage from the operating system we use here is as follows:
Quote:
usage:
date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
date [-u] [+format]
date -a [-]sss[.fff]
Thanks,
SK
