I need $timezone to hold the time zone in this format -00:00 The command date +%z will give it as -0000
I know nothing about writing perl scripts.
Can somebody show me how to add the : in the output of the date command in the simple following script?
The cat statement is just so I can see results are correct.
#!/usr/bin/perl $timezone=date +%z; cat $timezone
Not that i am very good in perl, In KSH scripting it's like this:
%H:%M for a 00:00 output instead of 0000
Perhaps that will help you:-)
(Oh the command date +%H:%M)
Cheers
