Just wondering if you could lend me a little hand. Basically I want to
rename a file from log.1 log.2 etc to log.10.36.34. The time stamp
(ignore the date) should be the last written time, so far I've got to
this stage:

stat log | sed  -n '/Modify:/p' | awk -F ' ' '{print $3}'

so I get :
11:01:09.000000000

How can I get rid of the leading 0'swithout having to pipe the output
to anotehr awk statement, is it possible to do this withing the
current awk statement?
There simpler solutions but this works:

stat log | awk '/Modify/ { print $3 }' | cut -d . -f 1



Hi

I had already changed it to do it the way you mentioned. Guess there's
no way to do a second break within AWK.

Thanks Guys,

Dan

It's trivial, you need to use the split function.

stat log | awk '/Modify/ { split($3,parts,".") ;print parts[1] }'
