if you have date -d option
Code:
 $ date -d "12/03/2013 11:02 AM" +"%d-%b-%Y %R %p"

03-Dec-2013 11:02 AM

Hello,

Here is one more approach. Let us say file name which is having input is change_data_format.


Code:
 awk -F"/" '{
 split("Jan,Feb,March,April,May,june,july,Aug,Sept,Oct,Nov,Dec",month,",");
 print $2"-" month[$1] "-" $3}' change_data_format

Output will be as follows.

Code:
03-Dec-2013 11:02 AM




Thanks,
R. Singh

If you are using a modern version of the Korn shell:
Code:
$ printf "%(%d-%b-%Y %R %p)T\n " "12/03/2013 11:02 AM"
03-Dec-2013 11:02 AM
