I have a list of dates that have been converted to epoch seconds,
processed and then converted back to a string (using timelocal).
The resulting date format is:-
"Wed Mar 16 22:10:16 2004"
What is the easiest way to convert this format (or epoch seconds)
to "16-Mar-2004 22:10" -
The easiest way, I suppose, is to use epoch seconds as the starting
point and use some module. Pick one and give it a try.
Alternatively, the string is easily converted with the s/// operator:
s[\w{3}\s+(\w{3})\s+(\d{1,2})\s+(\d\d:\d\d):\d\d\s+(\d{4})]
[$2-$1-$4 $3]
preferrably using a standard module as I don't have administrator
rights.
If you don't have root access, modules can be installed in a local
library.
