Say I have a line like such:
Code:
today 2010 Feb 21 test10, 12AM
How would I print everything AFTER "2010 Feb 21 "?
What I thought to do so far is to set a variable to the format used in the string like so:
Code:
date="$(date +%Y %b %e)"
So I know I have to use either awk, sed, or perhaps bash substrings to work with the variable $date, but as to how, I'm drawing a blank.
I 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

I want the get the date of the oldest log in this directory and compare it with current date.Time of the each log can be seen before ".Z" prefix.I have written the following piece of code. However, it is not working for the following case:

TODAY= 20101201
Difference is 72, which is not correct, since these are dates.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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?

I am using cygwin in order to test a bash script that uses the ls -R command. When I use this, the access date of the subfolders are changed, and I need them to remain what they were before the command was run. I don't have access to a legitimate Linux system, so I'm not sure if this is the fault of cygwin or the ls command. The script is being used to find the last access date of all files underneath several subfolders and then return the latest date found in each subfolder as the last access date for that subfolder. For some reason, some of these folders have files in them that are newer than the folder's last access date, so the script is meant to give us a list of the true last access date for these folders.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have searched diligently but can't seem to find a way to search by exif date. Most of my searches turned up commands to manipulate EXIF data not just search by it. I have found some likely tools but suspect that I don't know enough bash to recursively find a .jpg file by it's exif date. For example, exiprobe and exifgrep look promising (see examples below).
I have made some progress. At first, I couldn't associate the file name with the date given but learned that the "n" option forces each output line to start with the file name. Now, I need to make the command recurse but can't seem to manage it.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI've recently inherited a bunch of files at a new job and am trying to figure out some of the problems that have constantly popped up. The one i'm getting a huge headache with results from a bash script that is supposed to change a date format from a client populated txt field to one we want defined a certain way. Everything in the script works fine, except that one function. Below is the line i'm trying to manipulate, with date examples.
sed -e 's/.0000 EA/ EA/' -e 's/ 01012010 / 01-JAN-2010 /' -e 's/ 12312011 / 31-DEC-2011 /'
The one caveat is that the first date is non-static and changes daily. It is, however, always the current date. If it helps, the second date will always be a year away from the first date.My idea was to pull the current date via perl's DATE function, but...how to do it, and calculate a year away without throwing the rest of the bash script off? Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure it's a simple solution but i know absolutely nothing about these scripts and how they were written.
I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head with this one. Here's the situation: My practice has been, after downloading and making changes to files, to use a certain GUI cataloging app to move them to categorized sub-folders inside one "umbrella" folder, then copy them to (what are in most cases) identically-named sub-folders in another one on the same HD. Emulation of this process on the command-line would look like:
Code:
cp holytrousers.jpg /home/metoo/Pictures/fancypants/
mv holytrousers.jpg /home/me/Pictures/pants/
This was in anticipation of making a "twin" of the second, now bigger, "umbrella" folder on anexternal HD and continuing the practice. At some point I intended to get rid of the original 2nd "parent folder" and just keep the first one on the drive with my OS install, using the twin on the backup folder as I'd been doing when it was on that same drive.
I'm very close (a matter of 2 to 3 weeks, it looks like) to getting a backup/external drive in a reasonably-reliable external enclosure. With the backup, originally the "twin" of the bigger "umbrella" folder and its sub-directories, on that other drive, I also anticipate that I will likely go at least a few days between backing up any new files to it.
For the sake of argument, let's say I gave the external the name "tuxs_twin". Is there any way to monitor copying activity from /Pictures/ on the boot HD to /media/tuxs_twin/Pictures/ and log the dates and times, then have something running that checks the log every so many hours and puts up a reminder dialog saying /tuxs_twin/Pictures/ hasn't had any new files copied to it since date X at time Y? I hope this was clear enough. If not, I'll try to break it down further when I know which details are confusing folks.
I'm looking for a method for modifying some jpg photo files last modification date with the corresponding timestamp creation date of each file.The reason is that shotwell import pictures in folders according to last modification date which is stupid on my opinion.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a C++ application which is run on linux. I need to calculate epoch time for a given date and vice versa. (no of seconds elapsed since 1979-01-01) I used the following two methods.I need to convert the given date to epoch time and again convert that epoch time to the corresponding date.But the following methods doesn't give me the correct answer. Method to calculate the epoch time:

My problem is this. Lets think that the value I get as epoch time for the 2010-01-05:000000 is 1262649600. (lTime value) Then I use the same value (1262649600) as a input to the GetTimeStamp method, I didnt get the dateString as 2010-01-05:000000. The date is changed by one day.

I have two different table in a database in mysql that has no share key with each other and I want to sort them with each other on their date time column I mean when I sort it row X of table A that is older that row Y of table B comes earlier.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I've got a rather vast database, one of the columns is date in the following format: DD/MM/YY HH:MM:SS. This is starting to cause problems with a php page I'm writing which asks the user for a 'start date'. Would it be better for me to split the date column into date and say time? Or is there a way of using distinct and masking the times.

As 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?
