Thread: capturing the time stamp

  1. capturing the time stamp

    Hi All,

    I am working on a korn shell script.
    i have a file such as:
    DS.PETSCO.20060601203514.20060531.ctl_200607171244 31

    i have 2 problems here.

    1) i have to capture the time stamp from
    the above file i.e this number 20060717124431.
    format of time stamp is YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.

    can anyone plz let me know how do i capture the time stamp.

    2) the second problem is, i have to calculate the next 27 hours
    from the above time stamp.

    SAY time in the above timestamp is 12:44:31 so i have to add
    27 hours to this time stamp.

    Note:when i add 27 hours please note that date also changes.
    so i have to echo the new date and time when i add 27 hours
    to the exisitng time stamp.

    can anyone plx let me know how I do it.

    thanks
    pavi

    Please don't multi-post; if you think a question belongs in more
    than one group, crosspost.

    Your question has been answered in another newsgroup.

    It IS a different group; that's the problem.

    pavi;
    "Multi-posting" (Bad) is different than "Cross-posting" (Acceptable if
    appropriate) -- please lookup those terms for further clarification.
