Help with date in bash script for loop from YYYYMMDDHHMM

Hi everyone

I need some help

I want to create an script which does some processing

it takes the two arguments 201901010000 and 201901020200 - so YYYMMDDHHMM

I want to split processing into hours from start until end,


I dont get why this works but when I add to a future variable hours + minutes it stops work

Code:
d=$(date -d "20190308 + 1 hour" '+%Y%m%d%H%M'); echo $d            
201903080100

Code:
d=$(date -d "201903081000 + 1 hour" '+%Y%m%d%H%M'); echo $d 
date: invalid date `201903081000 + 1 hour'

All help is much appreciated, going to share also the script tomorrow morning, but I need to figure this one out

You can query error messages with DateTime::getLastErrors. If $format does not contain the character ! then portions of the generated time which are not specified in $format will be set to the current system time. If $format contains the character !, then portions of the generated time not provided in $format, as well as values to the left-hand side of the !, will be set to correspond- ing values from the Unix epoch. The Unix epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. o $time - String representing the time. o $timezone - A DateTimeZone object representing the desired time zone. If $timezone is omitted and $time contains no timezone, the current timezone will be used. Note The $timezone parameter and the current timezone are ignored when the $time parameter either contains a UNIX timestamp (e.g. 946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g. 2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00). RETURN VALUES
Returns a new DateTime instance or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 DateTime.createFromFormat(3) example Object oriented style <?php $date = DateTime::createFromFormat('j-M-Y', '15-Feb-2009'); echo $date->format('Y-m-d'); ?> Procedural style <?php $date = date_create_from_format('j-M-Y', '15-Feb-2009'); echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d'); ?> The above examples will output: 2009-02-15 Example #2 Intricacies of DateTime.createFromFormat(3) <?php echo 'Current time: ' . date('Y-m-d H:i:s') . " "; $format = 'Y-m-d'; $date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, '2009-02-15'); echo "Format: $format; " . $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . " "; $format = 'Y-m-d H:i:s'; $date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, '2009-02-15 15:16:17'); echo "Format: $format; " . $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . " "; $format = 'Y-m-!d H:i:s'; $date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, '2009-02-15 15:16:17'); echo "Format: $format; " . $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . " "; $format = '!d'; $date = DateTime::createFromFormat($format, '15'); echo "Format: $format; " . $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . " "; ?> The above example will output something similar to: Current time: 2010-04-23 10:29:35 Format: Y-m-d; 2009-02-15 10:29:35 Format: Y-m-d H:i:s; 2009-02-15 15:16:17 Format: Y-m-!d H:i:s; 1970-01-15 15:16:17 Format: !d; 1970-01-15 00:00:00 SEE ALSO
