Subject: Date prompt expansion
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:33:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50B35385.8040409@internecto.net> (raw)
Following up on my email sent yesterday where I asked a question about
pcre, the question also implied I'm doing stuff with dates.
Currently I am using two different methods of getting the today's
day/month and yesterday's day/month:
1) for today I'm using prompt expansion:
todaysDay=${(%):-%D{"%d"}} # 26
todaysMonth=${(%):-%D{"%m"}} # 11
2) for yesterday I'm using FreeBSD's date command:
yesterdaysDay=$(/bin/date -v -1d "+%y")
yesterdaysMonth=$(/bin/date -v -1d "+%m")
I'm more fond of the first method. Can the second be done without
calling /bin/date?
Mark
