Hello,
I need some sort of way to extract every date contained in a file, and count how many of those dates there are.
Here are the specifics:
- The date format I'm looking for is mm/dd/yyyy
- I only need to look after line 45 in the file (that's where the data begins)
- The columns of data are seperated by indents/tabs, I need to look at the 4th column
I'll take any advice I can get, I just don't really even know where to begin aside using the cut or grep functions.
Your expertise is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
Jay
