Salam Alaikum Wr Wb

I have a brain teaser of the shell utilities type for you guys. :)

A file foo.txt has a list of date strings in this format:

8/31/2011
1/7/2020
1/31/2013
11/4/2010

and so one.

How would one go about flipping them into yyyy/mm/dd format in bar.txt?

as in :

2011/08/31
2020/01/07
2013/01/31
2010/11/04

Notice the single digit month or day must become 2 digits. From 8 to 08


"compute regular expressions in his mind at the speed of lighting" Huh!


:D

Wasslam Alaikum wr wb

Abdallah


ps. The speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s So how many meters do you need?

I knew it would be you. Subhanallah.

Salam Alaikum Abulyomon.

You just earned a mansaf dinner prize on me anywhere you like. :)

How would you deal with the 2036 problem?

Years beyond 2036 are giving

date: invalid date `8/31/2088'
date: invalid date `4/30/2046'

I got around the 2038 date limit but running the command on a 64bit system.

However, I can not get the results out. It is a telnet account to a
test HP server.


Ok. So I need someone with access to a 64bit box. I need access for
5 minutes. Or you could run the command on 2 files for me and send me
the results.

Please contact me off list if you are able to do this for me.

If you're willing to use PHP CLI, this works on 32-bit systems, because we're not invoking the date function:

<?php
$input_file  = '';
$output_file = '';

$input  = file($input_file);
$output = fopen($outpu_file, 'w');

foreach ($input as $line) {
    list($month, $day, $year) = explode('/', $line);
    if ($month < 10) $month = '0'.$month;
    $new_date = $year.'/'.$month.'/'.$day;
    fwrite($output, $new_date);
}
?>

I'm sure something similar can be done with bash, but I don't know bash.

how about this one?

more foo.txt | awk -F'/' '{OFS="/"; print $3,$1,$2}' | sed s'/\/\([[:digit:]]\)\//\/0\1\//g' | sed s'/\/\([[:digit:]]\)$/\/0\1/g'

This shall work whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit :-)

explaination:
1- Awk will just arrange the numbers as required
2- First sed will replace the one digit between slashes (e.g. /3/) with same thing but adds a zero (e.g. /03/)
3- Second sed will replace the one digit at the end of the string (e.g. /5$) with same thing but adds a zero (e.g. /05$)

Keep those coming Abdullah,

I see that the sed is doing its job in regarding of adding the zero (in your results), maybe the awk, since I cannot see the year field, try without the sed, only the awk and post the output, please.

I guess this got the job done. I haven't tried to php ones. Sorry.

But although I agree that sed and awk should rule the world, I would
love to see a web site made with them anytime soon. .

Thank you all for your contributions.

Mansaf for all on this thread insha'Allah soon. We just need an

GNU awk 3.1.4, it seems that awk 3.1.6 has an issue with OFS, and therefore it removed the $3 for a reason or another?!!

I solved it twice too, I didn't see any of the solutions until I solved it and found that Abulyomon and I had the same way, with different representation. I also solved it first regarding the 64-bit issue (sed&awk), therefore I demand an extra two seats, mansaf, rgab and kofta.

How about we do it on Saturday 26 July 2008, 13h30 al-Qods rest. al-balad?

Hay Jad, that extra mansaf is mine, if I see your hands around the plate, actually if I see you around al-balad, I will make you kabab and eat you as a side desh :-{

I agree with Jad, Mansaf without you is nothing, if your invitation is stand still, then we can wait until you are back, but try to make it soon (before Ramadan), Yummy Yummy mansaf.

Dear all,

I would like to enlist your help to locate the fugitive known as "Abdullah". He is wanted for crimes of treason, and false advertising. It is absolutely imperative that he is located before Ramadan.

PS: All charges will be dropped if we locate him and "escort him" to Al-Kuds restaurant downtown.

Sorry folks.  I am missing in action. I just caught this thread.  It will have to be a Ramadan Iftar insha'Allah or a Eid banquet. 

Nice command lines though.  LOL

salam alaikum dear brothers . it s been long long time since we made these plans 

I miss you all. it was a privilege to have this Jolug experience with you all 

So what's up with you guys?  what ha you been up to? 

Where are you in life now?    I love to hear from you all my dear friends. 

I am currently in Istanbul Turkey.  It is a lovely city and a really exciting place. 

If you happen to pass by this land then I would love to hear from you.   We probably can find mansaf here as well.  I doubt it would be as good as alquds's.   

Yours, :)

Oh my ... a decade of dormancy only to be awaken by the Abdallah himself.

Great to hear you’re enjoying Istanbul. A lovely city indeed.

Who else is still tuned in to this mailing list?

Hussam ;   I would love that ..Send me details off list.    

Yaman:   Die Yaman :)   You went to KSA back then if i remember correctly.    

ALL:   Only Hussam sent his whereabouts (partially)     Common.   Most of Jolug members were starting their careers and professional lives back then. 

Who made it in tech industry and  who figured out a way to get out when he could?  :D  

I am still working in web related venues.  Mostly business development and marketing.   They still think I am a team person .. Sigh .  

Khamis:   You are missed man.  Knock knock.

It is exciting to see JOLUG active again :)  I don't know most of the people here. Attended only one of the group gatherings back in ~2004, still remember some of the tips discussed during the meeting.

Husam, I didn't know you were with ACI worldwide! I only knew about NBAD :) Now I'm with ACI after it acquired the start up I was working in since 2015 :)

I'm surprised the group is active and people still use email for personal use :)

Who here still uses Linux? I mean as desktop or development environment.. Routers, switches, servers and IOT devices don't count.
