I am writing a shell script (#!/bin/sh) that will change some file names
around but am having trouble formatting a string. If I have a string like
this:
20050202
How can I change it to:
2005-02-02
I have about a thousand files so it isn 't really feasable for me to be
changing the names manually. All of the files are similar to this and I
have everything in the script to make the change but this one problem.
I have looked into "printf " and "awk/split ", but I don 't think either one
of these would work for me. Maybe one would, but I just couldn 't figure it
out. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
