Re^4: Epoch time conversion script

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

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]

Hi lidden I used the while loop you provided and I'm getting this error [root@H99A115 03]# ./convert ./convert: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `{' ./convert: line 4: `while(my $line = $in){' [download] I removed the <> tags from <$in> and still the same error this is my input and output file: `open my $in, '<', 'q22adm_history' or die "Bummer: $!"; open my $out, '>', 'q22adm' or die "What: $!";` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well, the while loop lidden provided has no syntax errors, so show your code I removed the <> tags from <$in> that had nothing to do with the error, that was reading the file, that is readline	[reply]

Ok I should probably add also that it works for C shell users only! But thank you nevertheless!	[reply]
