Hi everyone,
need help here. In unix, we can get the system date time stamp using `date`.
here's the problem, i need to put this into a variable and format it into
%m%d%y. here's wat i did

$thisdate=`date +DATE: %m/%d/%y'

but output was only Date: when i echoed it out. My desired outout would be actually just %m%d%y.

Try this
echo "Date : " `date +%m/%d/%y`

j="Date : `date +%m/%d/%y`"
