I could not get it to work until I changed the single quotes in the last -e
expression to double quotes. (This either interactively under csh or as a
script under sh). BTW, using `date +%s` and with an additional minor change to
make the numbers continue to line up ... Oh! This will not fix mis-alignments
on days when it is not the end of the week, I don't think ... anyway.
cal | awk 'NR>1' | sed -e 's/ / /g' -e 's/[^ ] /& /g' -e 's/..*/ &/' -e
"s/\ `date +%d`/\[`date +%d`\]/"
Gives
$ sh newcal.sh
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 [10]
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30 31
Now, if you had a space character at the end of each line, you could do
something like ...
cal | awk 'NR>1' | sed -e 's/ / /g' -e 's/[^ ] /& /g' -e 's/..*/ &/' -e
"s/\ `date +%d`\ /\[`date +%d`\]/"
And then it would replace (underscore is space) "_8_" with "[8]" so it would
always line up. You can't do that without the space at the end of the line
because the trailing numbers look like this "_17" not "_17_". But, fix that,
and you can use the above. That is left as an exercise for the reader.
