Re: [ferret_users] use date from shell



Hi -
Another idea, depending on what you want this for, is to use the symbols SESSION_DATE and SESSION_TIME  which are set when Ferret starts up, and which contain the date and time when you started the Ferret session.
yes? show symbol session*
SESSION_DATE = "20-Jan-09"
SESSION_TIME = "10:39"

yes? let date = "($session_date)"
 !-> DEFINE VARIABLE date = "20-Jan-09"
yes? let datetime =  "($session_date) ($session_time)"
 !-> DEFINE VARIABLE datetime =  "20-Jan-09 10:57"
etc.

would this work for you?

let date = {spawn:"date +%j"}
list date

There is a section on spawn command in the manual.
