using awk to print date
i want to use awk to print the first,second and add date as third column in a file

Code:
awk -F"|" ' { print $1,$2,current date }' tom.unl >> top.txt

how can i achieve this,i need the comma's to seperate them and finally print current date and time as the third.

i want output like (dert,205,20100624110506)

Adjust date command to print output you want.
