[SOLVED] Get timestamp from a file

myre75 · 01-30-2016, 08:27 AM

Hi all,

I need to get timestamp from a file :

remy$ stat FAFAF3DD-D0C4-4038-9C7E-31BD6A07AA61.pdf
16777220 1076482 -rw-r--r-- 1 remy staff 0 531864 "Jan 30 15:23:36 2016" "Jan 30 15:08:21 2016" "Jan 30 15:09:55 2016" "Jan 30 15:08:21 2016" 4096 1040 0 FAFAF3DD-D0C4-4038-9C7E-31BD6A07AA61.pdf

My level in shell scripting is not quite good to get this. I mean, iIknow I can use awk, but I don't know how to get them(year, month, day)

If someone could help me, I would be so good

Thanks all

M-D-Y are present in your output.
What's the problem?

Code:

stat jj
  File: `jj'
  Size: 12288     	Blocks: 24         IO Block: 4096   directory
Device: ca01h/51713d	Inode: 656870      Links: 2
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2016-01-29 23:59:01.662706000 -0800
Modify: 2016-01-29 17:33:57.826705997 -0800
Change: 2016-01-29 17:33:57.826705997 -0800

Ok so :

remy$ stat FAFAF3DD-D0C4-4038-9C7E-31BD6A07AA61.pdf | awk '{ print $16, $17, $18 }'
2016" "Jan 30

Pretty much better.

But I need to convert month in numeric. And here ... No idea :/

Thank you for your answer, but I'm working on OS X with BSD tools at work

My stat command is quite different I think

All is fine now, thank you

I found : stat -f "%Sm" -t "%Y%m%d" file

Thanks !

You're welcome and glad it worked out on your OS X system.
