Lightbulb perl 09-06-11 to 11062009, simple one line
Hi Guys,

If want to change the string "09-06-11" to "11062009", i can only think use split to get the array@, the [0],[1],[2], then restructure the sequence.

Is there a simple line to do that? Smilie

Thanks

-----Post Update-----

@file_e_tmp = split('-', $ARGV[0]);
$file_date_e = $file_e_tmp[2].$file_e_tmp[1]."20".$file_e_tmp[0];

Code:
perl -e '{$_="09-06-11"; s/(.*)-(.*)-(.*)/$3${2}20$1/; print}'

Thanks
try it this way
Code:
echo "09-06-11"|awk -F- '{print $3 $2 "20" $1}'

or this sed will do
Code:
echo "09-06-11"|sed 's/\(.*\)-\(.*\)-\(.*\)/\3\220\1/g'
