[SOLVED] Get day of the year for a specific date

SmurfGGM · 12-18-2013, 05:41 AM

Hi there

I would like to the day number of the year for a specific date.

Process_date=`date +%d/%m/%Y`

Then get the day of the year from $Process_date.

The process date will not always be today's date.

Thanks in advance.
