Insert Date in English (Rated 0)Description:
A convenient way on inserting the date in my favourite format in any document: e.g. in vi, typing "!!jdate", or the ex equivalent ":r!jdate", inserts "Wednesday 27th February 2003". Code starts here
#!/bin/sh
set `date +'%A %d %B %Y'`
day=$2
case $day in
01) day=1;;
02) day=2;;
03) day=3;;
04) day=4;;
05) day=5;;
06) day=6;;
07) day=7;;
08) day=8;;
09) day=9;;
esac
case $day in
1?) day=$day"th";;
*1) day=$day"st";;
*2) day=$day"nd";;
*3) day=$day"rd";;
*) day=$day"th";;
esac
echo $1 $day $3 $4
