Hello.
I can use any particular (stupid or not) format when using bash date command.
Example :
or
or
But I can't verify if the input date is in a particular format.
I use this piece of code to make verification : Example 1 : standard format and good date time ( Relative to date format template )
Good result for the test
Example 2 : standard format and and bad date time ( Relative to date format template )
Good result for the test.
But this is a coincidence.
In any data tested, the test will fail because the time format 'HH-MM-SS' is refused by the date command.
So the test will always failed.
Example 3 : personnal format and bad date time ( Relative to date format template )
Good result for the test
The date is accepted by the date command.
But the test fail because the time is not in the template format 'yyyy-mm-dd HH-MM-SS'.
Example 4 : personnal format and good date time ( Relative to date format template )
Bad result for the test.
The test will always failed because the time format 'HH-MM-SS' is refused by the date command.
So the test failed.
Is it possible to test the relative to the format used if the format used is not standard.
Any help is welcome
