I get the following error when I try the following (I am using kshell):
Code:
# You should be having $filedate with you.
fdate=$(date --date="$filedate" +%Y%m%d%H%M%S)
output...........................
date: illegal option -- -
date: illegal option -- d
date: invalid argument -- te= Jul 21 00:54
usage: date [-u] mmddHHMM[[cc]yy][.SS]
date [-u] [+format]
date -a [-]sss[.fff]
As far as your previous post Vino I think I misinterpreted your solution and if you see the solution at the end of that post you will know what I mean. That was working at the time but it isn't now. I don't know why that's why I had to figure it out again.
thankYou
