Hi is it possible to give the date command like 24th July 2009
ive tried
DATE=`date "+%d%m%Y"
echo $DATE
that only replies 2009 correctly. not sure how to display the month in full or if unix knows how to do i.e 2nd, 24th, 3rd
$ date +'%d %B %Y'
24 July 2009
$
Read man pages for more date formats.
Jean-Pierre.
