Salam Alaikum Wr Wb I have a brain teaser of the shell utilities type for you guys. :)
A file foo.txt has a list of date strings in this format: 8/31/2011 1/7/2020 1/31/2013 11/4/2010 and so one. How would one go about flipping them into yyyy/mm/dd format in bar.txt? as in : 2011/08/31 2020/01/07 2013/01/31 2010/11/04 Notice the single digit month or day must become 2 digits. From 8 to 08 "compute regular expressions in his mind at the speed of lighting" Huh! :D Wasslam Alaikum wr wb Abdallah ps. The speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s So how many meters do you need? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ### Jordan Linux Users Group ### http://Jolug.org/ http://groups.google.com/group/Jolug ### Ubuntu Jordan LoCo Team ### https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JordanTeam http://lists.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-jo ### Ojuba Linux ### http://ojuba.org/ ### Jordan PHP ### http://groups.google.com/group/JoPHP -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
