============= MONTH=`date +%B` echo $MONTH ============= This gives the whole month's name. Use %b to have an abbreviated one (here, i have "février" for first, and "févr." for second. As it is localized, I have no clue about what you will have). the `...` is used to execute the content instead of simply using it as a string. Note, that this notation is the /bin/sh 's one, it works with bash, and *should* be relatively portable. Unlike the new one (which I do not remember anyway). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
