12-29-2003
I am not clear with your question, I assume you are asking for today' s date 29122003 to be searched in a file, then the below will work
str=`date -u +%d%m%Y`
grep $str filename
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo "Date was not found"
exit 1
fi
Regards
JK

TCAL(1) General Commands Manual TCAL(1)
NAME
Tcal - runs the Gcal program with the date of tomorrow's day.
SYNOPSIS
tcal [--help | --version] | [--shift=[+|-]number] [Argument...]
DESCRIPTION
Tcal is a program which runs gcal with a date set one day ahead (equivalent the --shift=1 option). All given arguments are passed unmodi-
fied to the Gcal program. If the Gcal program shall be called with another date than tomorrow's date, this desired date can be selected by
using the --shift=[+|-]number option, in which [+|-]number is the distance of days the desired date is distant from the actual date (works
only for Gregorian years). The --shift option must be given before all other arguments which are passed to the Gcal program. An exit status
of 0 means all processing is successfully done, any other value means an error has occured.
OPTIONS
--help Print a usage message listing all available options, then exit successfully.
--version
Print the version number, then exit successfully.
--shift=[+|-]number
Define the displacement in [+|-]number days the desired date is distant from the actual date.
ENVIRONMENT
GCALPROG
The GCALPROG environment variable contains the file name of the executable Gcal program, which is used by Tcal to call Gcal. This
takes precedence over the file name `gcal', which is burned-in during the compilation step of tcal.
