Need Help??

in reply to create file with current date for name

If you are running on a Linux box, please be aware that date -I or date --iso-8601 will give you a date like '2001-08-07'. No need for any processing, and it's the ISO standard. You can even specify an optional precision.

Examples:

> date -I
2001-08-07

> date -Id
2001-08-07

> date -Ih
2001-08-07T18+0200

> date -Im
2001-08-07T18:32+0200

> date -Is
2001-08-07T18:32:39+0200
