Re^2: Epoch time conversion script

Hi netwallah

I am trying to convert the epoch time to local time. I can use a one-liner that does the job but it's tedious to do it manually with many users on the system

cat /var/log/user_history/32adm_bash_history | while read line ; do  i
+f [[ $line =~ '^#' ]]; then  date -d "@$(echo $line | cut -c2-)"; els
+e echo
$line ; fi; done

Could you please post some sample lines from 32adm_bash_history so we can see the format of your file? And what your expected output would look like?	[reply]

Hi anonymous This is the sample history file with hashed Epoch time in seconds taken from a different user: `[root@H99A105 user_history]# tail -f sapr3_history #+1331257705 Date is: Fri Mar 9 10:48:25 JST 2012 #+1331257706 history` [download] After the conversion it should look like this: `[root@H99A105 user_history]# tail -f /var/log/user_history/Epoch_Conve +rt/sapr3 Fri Mar 9 10:48:25 JST 2012 Date is: Fri Mar 9 10:48:25 JST 2012 Fri Mar 9 10:48:26 JST 2012 history` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Something like this should do what you want. open my $in, '<', 'infile.txt' or die "Bummer: $!"; open my $out, '>', 'outfile.txt' or die "What: $!"; while(my $line = <$in>){ if(my ($epoch) = $line =~ /^#\+(\d+)\s*$/){ my $human_readable = `date -d \@$epoch`; # or: # my $human_readable = scalar localtime $epoch; print $out $human_readable; } else{ print $out $line; } } [download]	[reply] [d/l]
