Script with Date Calc

[UniRock]

Hi All,

I am trying to make a script that would create some data for the next five days of the week in five different folders with names of the DAYS.
The script has to be run once a week, say Monday.

The problem is how shall I increment the date parameter to get next five DAY?

Thanks,
UniRock

Use caljd.sh

You'll need to learn to use it.

Credits for that script to A. Clay Stephenson.

Hi,

Its easy to take today's date and make a directiory,
you can increment the day also by adding 1 into current date.

problem is comming when month is ending.

Hi All,

Actually I want to increment the day and not the date everytime, Monday, Tuesday and so on.

Thanks,

Can you give us an example of what 'creating some data' might look like?

Any preferred implementation language?

If it is always run on Monday, and only the weekday is a variable, then you don't really need to know the actual date right?

Just pick them from a list... using perl:

$ perl -e '@days=qw(Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri); for (@days) { qx(cp x.dat $_)}'
'

Or, instead of coding up the list, look for the directories:

perl -e 'for (<*day>) { next unless -d; s/\..*$//; qx(cp x.dat $_) }'

Hope this helps some,
Hein.
