General :: Pass Multiline Output Of A Command Into 'date -j'
Mar 3, 2011I am doing some NSCA log parsing and I want to get an output like this:

I have tried this, but it treats the entire output as a single line, then plops a timestamp on the end (I think):
Code:
sort -b -k4.9,4.12 -k4.5b,4.7Mb -k4.2,4.3 -k4.14,4 foo.log| date -j -f "%Y-%b-%d:%T" "+%s" "`awk -F '[ [/:]' '{print $7"-"$6"-"$5":"$8":"$9":"$10}'`"

General :: Use Date With Touch To Create New File With Date Based Name?
Mar 12, 2010I am using CRON to create a new, blank file, every minute, in a specific location on my web server. After web searching, and reading man pages, I get the impression that the following command is supposed to work:touch /home/mydomain/var/folder/attachments/`date +%H%M`.txtThis should give me a new file with a file name that is the current hour and minute.However, when executed, the CRON mailer reports:touch /home/mydomain/var/folder/attachments/`date +/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of fileSo, it looks like shell is seeing the plus (+) sign as an EOFObviously, nothing get created.What would be the easiest, single line command to create an empty file, at a given location, with a time based file name

View 6 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Date Formatting From Stat Command?
Jul 23, 2010I'm writing a script that takes the date attribute of a file when it was created and appending it to the name. I'm pretty close to what I need, but the date appears in yyyy-mm-dd format and I want it to read mm-dd-yyyy. What I have done so far is something like
for ((i=1;i<=50;i++));
do fdate=`stat -c %y Video Snapshot $i.png|awk {'print$1'}`;
newname=Personname-$fdate-$i.png;
mv Video Snapshot $i.png $newname;
done
This works decently but the date comes out in the yyyy-mm-dd format. How do I change it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Organize Folder With Images By Date Taken Rather Than Date Edited?
Aug 1, 2011As a photographer I'm constantly taking photos and storing them in folders. Now occasionally I'm using two cameras (either for different settings or an assistant is also taking photos) which means that for one event I can have differently named images.Both cameras have the same time set (which always helps in Windows) but in Ubuntu when trying to sort my folder by date taken I can't.The options I'm given are to sort them: Manually, by Name, by Size, by Type, by Modification date and by Emblem.Now none of those are helpful to me once I've done a few edits to the images.So please if anyone knows, how do you organise a folder with images taken on different cameras by Date Taken rather than Date Edited?

View 10 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Digikam - Renaming On Import - "Create Date" Versus "File Modification Date"
Jan 24, 2011I just switched from a basic digital camera to a more advanced one that stores both Jpeg and Raw (.Nef - it's a Nikon) files for me.When importing files in Digikam, I rename the files so that they start with Date and Time. Example: 20110121-223748.JPG for a photo taken on Jan 21st 2011 at 22:37:48.I was a bit surprised when importing both the JPEG and the Raw version of the same photo, that the filename is different by a few seconds (no constant offset, sometimes they are the same):
20110121-223748.JPG
20110121-223750.NEF
I did some "research" by looking at the exif data of both files (using "exiftool 20110121-223748.JPG" from the command line). Here is what I got back
(amongst other data):20110121-223748.JPG
File Modification Date/Time : 2011:01:21 22:37:48+01:00
Modify Date : 2011:01:21 22:37:48
Date/Time Original : 2011:01:21 22:37:48
[code]....
So it seems that Digikam is using the "File Modification Date/Time" (different in the Jpeg's and Raw's of my camera) rather than the "Create Date" (the same for both Jpeg and Raw). (The few seconds difference in "File Modification Date/Time" between the two versions of the same photo is probably due to the time that my camera needs to write away the data on the SD memory card. I guess.) Is there a way to have Digikam use the Create Date? (Or the Date/Time Original?)
PS: I'm on Ubuntu 10.04LTS, using DigiKam 1.2.0

Programming :: Keep Original Mod Date Of A File And 'date' It Back To Same File?
Jul 12, 2010I would really like to preserve a file's original modified date and pass it back to the file as the same attribute after a script has worked on it. I get a lot of JPEG files from different places on the Net which I either turn around and upload or burn to disk, and having the "original" date of either download or last mod in a graphics app would be for me, in the long run, a lot more helpful when deciding, for instance, which files to "recycle" or pass on backing up more than once.I've tried doing this on my own every now and then. Where I run into problems is that it appears "stat" and "date" use different formats for date information, and I can't seem to puzzle out how to "translate" one to the other satisfactorily for the latter command.
Just to give an example:
stat foo.jpg |grep Modify gives me
Modify: 2010-07-12 06:28:56.890625000 -0400
Passing that string as-is to date foo.jpg, I get the errordate: unknown option -- 0 and the usual semi-courteous suggestion to Try 'date --help' for more information.Somehow my TexInfo database got screwed up somewhere along the line and info dategives me the short article on date input formats, not the full documentation for the command
