generate dates between two dates
 
Hi,

Is there a way to generate dates between two dates taking care of leap years? For example, generate all the dates between 2012-10-11 and 2014-05-01. Thanks!

Code:
2012-10-11
2012-10-12
2012-10-13
.
.
.
2012-10-30
2012-10-31
2012-11-01
.
.
.
2014-04-30
2014-05-01

Of course there is. In which programming language?

can we do it in bash / awk? Thanks!

Not that familiar with those two languages unfortunately.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
d1=2012-10-11
d2=2014-05-01
while [ $d1 != $d2 ] ; do
        echo $d1
        d1=$(date -d "$d1 + 1 day" +%F)
done
echo $d2

Edit:
Should probably need some validation that the dates are proper, and that d2 is not before d1. And first I forgot to "echo $d2".
