I meant: $ LC_TIME=en_US date +%x 09/05/2006 But as Neil already pointed out, en_GB has it the other way round, i.e. it would print 05/09/06 (I would still prefer 05.09.2006). I just noticed fr_CH is bad, too: 05. 09. 06 (why do they have these spaces in there?), de_CH is quite ok: 2006-09-05. But you still get the day and month names in the respective languages. -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- [email protected] mailing list
