I've a data file with rows that begin like this: '1995SBOIC020',1,'08/04/2004','Failed',
and I want to change the date to ISO format, '2004-08-04'. I tried with emacs regex to change the slash to a hyphen but without success. And I don't think regex will allow me to re-order the date numbers. Can SED be applied to this or is there a more elegant way to filter the file so that all date fields are modified? I've tried a few things but haven't seen the light of inspiriation that indicates I've done it correctly. Thoughts?
