Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Folks,

I have created a script last month to retrive files thru FTP and cronjob was running fine till yesterday. But the naming convention of the daily file is Filename_<date>.xml
where date is YYYYMMDD. But today i have received file name as Filename_20110232.xml

Part of my Perl script to execute above one:

Code:

($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time)
$date = sprintf("%04d%02d%02d", $year+1900, $mon+1, $yday+1);

Can anyone please suggest me the right way of doing this. Only Perl works no shell Script.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

$yday is the day of the year, in the range 0..364 (or 0..365 in leap years.). (i.e.32 means 1st Feb)
and $mday is the day of the month.

Any other suggestions Please

Code:

($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst) = localtime(time)
$date = sprintf("%04d%02d%02d", $year+1900, $mon+1, $mday+1);

I think that last parameter should be $mday instead of $mday+1.
