Comment:

I am a beginner to shell script. How can I create a directory using the system date in shell script. Could anyone please send me the code? Thanks

Hi: Use the Unix date command: mkdir "mydir"$(date +"%m%d%y") # Korn or mkdir "mydir"`date +"%m%d%y"` # Bourne Regards, Nails

You can embed a date command within a mkdir command: mkdir mydir_`date +%m-%d-%Y` Or korn shell can do it this way: mkdir mydir_$(date +%m-%d-%Y) You can change the formatting options of the date command to whatever you want.

Sorry Nails, your reply was not there when I went to post. At least we were consistent.
