Hello all, I would like to give a variable a value which have a format like this one: <3 letters>-<date>-<digit> <date> should be yymmdd. Date of the day by default. How would i do this, i know the date command is date +"%y-%m-%d", but i dont know the syntax for mixing letters date and digit into one variable. Also i would like to give the user a chance to change this default value, by letting him enter one, so i would like to know how can i check if the entered value is in the correct format.
Thank you for helping. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Formating-variable-with-caracter-and-date.-tp20973500p20973500.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
