Adding date when using awk
Hi,
I want to print the number of lines of a file along with filename and today's date.

Ex:
Code:
XXX|07-22-2010|8

I am using as
Code:
wc -c -l file.txt | awk '{print "XXX|",date +"%m-%d-%Y","|",$1}'

But this one prints as
Code:
AAA| 0 | 8

Can anyone please help me on this for printing the date?

Thanks,

Something like this?
Code:
awk -v d=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y") 'END{print NR, FILENAME, d}' OFS="|" file

Why awk?

Code:
# COUNT=`cat somefile.txt | wc -l`; echo "XXX|"`date +"%m-%d-%Y"`"|"$COUNT
XXX|07-22-2010|8
