Converting short time to text time 1

[SgtP]

I want to convert time format 01/01/01 to Jan. 1, 2001. Can any one help?

call this script whatever you want (dateconv) and then pass the 12/02/01 date to it.

# dateconv 12/02/01

Here ie the script:

FIRST=`echo $1 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
SECOND=`echo $1 | cut -d "/" -f 2`
THIRD=`echo $1 | cut -d "/" -f 3`
THIRDCHECK=`echo $1 | cut -d "/" -f 3 | cut -c 1`
case $FIRST in

01)
FIRST="Jan"
;;
02)
FIRST="Feb"
;;
03)
FIRST="Mar"
;;
04)
FIRST="Apr"
;;
05)
FIRST="May"
;;
06)
FIRST="Jun"
;;
07)
FIRST="Jul"
;;
08)
FIRST="Aug"
;;
09)
FIRST="Sep"
;;
10)
FIRST="Oct"
;;
11)
FIRST="Nov"
;;
12)
FIRST="Dec"
;;
esac
case $SECOND in
01|02|03|04|05|06|07|08|09)
SECOND=`echo $SECOND | cut -c 2`
;;
esac
case $THIRDCHECK in
0)
THIRD="20$THIRD"
;;
*)
THIRD="19$THIRD"
;;
esac


echo "$FIRST $SECOND, $THIRD"
