I need to get the current year for the files that has been created today.
Ex-
when i list in unix console it shows
ls -l abc.txt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user1 user1 33 May 2 08:58 abc.txt
but i need to get as May 2 2013 , i dont need 08:58 is there any command to list it out in that way..?
Thanks in Advance.
try ls -e
ls -l --time-style="+%Y-%m-%d"
What OS are you using?
ls -e not working
Im using AIX.
I dont see any direct command which can do that on AIX. I guess you have to modify the ls -l output as per your requirements.
Here's a perl. Kinda heavy.. but does the job.
perl -MPOSIX -e 'print strftime("%b %d, %Y",localtime((stat("/path/to/file.txt"))[9]))'
Worst case 
ls -lrt|sed 's/..:../'`date +%Y`'/g'
