Hello, I'm a complete beginner in Linux, and I would like to extract just the day from the date command...

Here is the code I tried to test but got no result. Just for your information, I'm on Ubuntu...

#!/bin/bash

CURRENTDATE=`cut -c1 date`

echo $CURRENTDATE

Thank you very much for your help...
Configuration: Linux Firefox 2.0.0.12

    Hello,

    Try with the command: date | cut -c 1-3 (adjusting the 1-3 according to the output of the date command).

    You can also do it with the command: date | awk -F" " '{print $1}' (adjusting 1 according to the output of date).

    Have a nice day.
