script

[Bogdan Taru]

        Hi everyone, 
 I would like to make a script which tells me the date in this format:
Sep 10.
 From the command line, it's easy done with: 'date +%b" "%d'.
 I would like the script to look like this (I know it looks stupid, but
I'm still a newbie):

DATA=date +%b" "%d
echo DATA

 How can I do that?

Have fun,
bogdan
