Listing out sundays alone
I am trying to list out only sundays from december 2011.
Code:
pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~/training$ cal 12 2011|sed -n '3,$p'|sed -e'/^$/d'|awk '{ORS=",";print $1}'
1,4,11,18,25,,pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~/training$

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Code:
for i in 2011 2012
do
  for j in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
  do
     cal $j $i  | cut -c 1-3 | nawk -v mon=$j -v yr=$i '
                                 /[0-9]/{printf("Sunday, %02d/%02d/%d\n", mon, $1, yr)}'
  done
done

I used nawk because I ran this on solaris, use awk or gawk otherwise.

Or perhaps something like this?

Code:
cal -s 12 2011 | awk '/^[ ][0-9]/ || /^[0-9]/ {print $1}'

-s switch is not supported in my ubuntu.
Code:
pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~/training$ cal -s 12 2011
Usage: cal [general options] [-hjy] [[month] year]
       cal [general options] [-hj] [-m month] [year]
       ncal [general options] [-bhJjpwySM] [-s country_code] [[month] year]
       ncal [general options] [-bhJeoSM] [year]
General options: [-NC3] [-A months] [-B months]
For debug the highlighting: [-H yyyy-mm-dd] [-d yyyy-mm]

pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~/training$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 3.0.0-14-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Nov 21 20:28:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~/training$

Tried ncal too:
Code:
pandeeswaran@ubuntu:~/training$ ncal -s 12 2011 | awk '/^[ ][0-9]/ || /^[0-9]/ {print $1}'
ncal: 12: invalid country code

                                 /[0-9]/{printf("Sunday, %02d/%02d/%d\n", mon, $1, yr)}'
  done
done

Thanks!
But i want the sundays only in december 2011 alone.
My output should be in comma separated format such as:
Code:
4,11,18,25

Use uppercase "S" in Ubuntu.

Just lose the switch completely.
Code:
cal 12 2011 | awk '/^[ ][0-9]/ || /^[0-9]/ {print $1}'

11
18
