Shell Programming and Scripting

What is not working? sed or the date command?

What is your OS?

i m on HP-UX

and it gives me

date: illegal option -- y
Usage: date [-u] [+format]
date [-u] [mmddhhmm[[cc]yy]]
date [-a [-]sss.fff]

in this line

LC_ALL=C date -d $dteIso +'%d %B %Y'

i hane understood this

dteIso=$(echo $dte | sed 's/\(..\)\(..\)\(....\)/\3\2\1/') and it gives o/p as

20090305

but now we have to convert this into

5 Mar 2009

please respond

thanks
haris

Using bash or ksh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
dte=05032009
d=${dte:0:2}
m=${dte:2:2}
y=${dte:4:4}

arrMonth=(January February March April ...)

echo $d ${arrMonth[$m-1]} $y

it gives an error

d=${dte:0:2}: bad substitution

thanks,
haris
