Hi

I have a sed command

sed -e "s/sub_date/=$(date  +"%d/%m/%Y")/" sub_create_tmp

I want to substitute with the current date in dd/mm/yyyy format .
But the result is an error " cannot parse " .

Pls help .

A kludge

sed -e "s/sub_date/=$(date +\"%d%m%Y\")/"  -e "s/\(.*\)=\"\(..\)\(..\)\(....\)\"\(.*\)/\1=\2\/\3\/\4\5/" sub_create_tmp
