Hello, new to this forum, I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 i386. I've search and found some relevant info on how to do this but I haven't been able to figure it all out. I'm trying to output my mythtv pvr's upcoming schedule but I'd like to change the dates from 2009-10-30 -> today, 2009-10-31 -> tomorrow and 2009-11-01 -> sunday. Having todays date come up as 'today' isn't too important, resorting to day of the week is better than nothing.
myth_upcoming_recordings.pl --plain_text --text_format '%Y-%m-%d - %h:%i %A - %T - %S (%cN)\n' --heading ""
2009-10-30 - 04:00 PM - Ghost Hunters - Nightmare Noises (OLCC)
2009-10-30 - 05:30 PM - The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XI (KCPQ)
2009-10-30 - 06:00 PM - The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XII (KCPQ)
2009-10-30 - 09:00 PM - The Simpsons - Treehouse of Horror XIX (COMEDCP)
2009-10-31 - 12:00 AM - Project Runway - A Fashionable New Beginning (SLICE)
the closest I've gotten is pretty bad
TEXT=`myth_upcoming_recordings.pl --plain_text --text_format '%Y-%m-%d - %h:%i %A - %T - %S (%cN)\n' --heading ""`
DATE=`echo "$TEXT"|awk -F'% ' {'print $1'}`
SHOW=`echo "$TEXT"|awk -F'% ' {'print $2 $3 $4 $5 $6'}`
DAY=`date -d $DATE +%a`
awk -v DAY="$DAY" SHOW="$SHOW"'{print DAY SHOW}'
there is a lot of configuration with the myth_upcoming_recordings.pl script if it makes it easier
