Find Quarter Start and End Dates
Dear Members,

Depending on the current date i should find out the start and end dates of the quarter.

ex: Today date is 14-Nov-2011 then Quarter start date should be Oct 1 2011 and Quarter End date should be Dec 31 2011.

How can i do this?

Thanks
Sandeep

A shellish answer:
Code:
#! /bin/bash

l=( 0 J F 31 A M 30 J A 30 O N 31 )

m=$(date +%m)
(( s = ( $m - 1 ) / 3 * 3 + 1 ))
(( e = s + 2 ))

y=$(date +%Y)
echo ${m}/${y}: 1-${s}-${y} to ${l[${e}]}-$e-${y}

Running this day (15-11-2011) results in:
Code:
11/2011: 1-10-2011 to 31-12-2011
