Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Perl Breakdown
This will make Jared happy, I finally broke down and fumbled my way through
some perl.
function f_file_date {
{
print "#!/usr/bin/perl"
print "print scalar(localtime((stat(\"${1}\"))[9]))"
} > tmp.pl
perl tmp.pl
rm tmp.pl
}
This little diddy can be placed right in my .ksh script to get file modification times in a consistent format, I wanted to use "ls -l" but then it occurred to me that once the year changes the "ls -l" returns a different formatted date entry for files modified during the last year. Maybe someone can suggest a prettier method of doing this within a .ksh script without calling another script.
