How about:
date +#%a %b - %d - %Y

Where/how do I put that?
I tried to put it inside the awk side, but didn't work.

Eh? The command I was trying to replicate was:

date | awk '{print #$1   $2 - $3 - $6}'

which is equivalent to :

date +#%a %b - %d - %Y

Doing this within awk is another story.. Sorry.

Got it. Originally I thought it was something to do from AWK.
I tried the string you wrote from the command line and worked.
I like your approach better. :-)
Thanks.

# Francisco Reyes:

[ strftime() not in 5.x-awk ]

 Now I just wonder how to get date in my output. :-(

Well, if nothing else helps there's always system(date).
However, you could also install lang/gawk.

HTH,
Mario

Since this was from a shell script I did
date | awk '{print #$1   $2 - $3 - $6}'
It works for my needs.

AWK in 4.X different from 5.X?

2005-03-26 Thread Francisco Reyes
Are the AWK in the 4.X branch and 5.X branch different?
Looking at
http://www.shelldorado.com/articles/awkcompat.html#os11
it seems the AWK in the 4.X branch has strftime.
I have 5.3 in my machine and AWK doesn't have that function.

Probably because the awk on a 4.x machine is GNU awk, whereas the 5.x
awk is the awk that comes straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak,
and so thus hasn't been extended with GNUisms.
