I want to convert date and month as integers.
for example.
if the current date as per the command “Date +%m-%d-%y” output, is this 09-11-17 Then I am storing
cur_day=`date +%d` cur_month=`date +%m`
the $cur_day will give me 11 and $cur_month will give me 09.
I want to do some operations on the month as 09. like i want to print all the numbers up to 09.
like this 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09
Same way I want to display all the numbers up to cur_day
like 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11
Please tell me how can i do it.
Thanks in Advance.

Answer
For months:
$ printf ',%02d' $(seq 1 $(date +%m)) | sed 's/,/like this /; s/$/n/' like this 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09
For days:
$ printf ',%02d' $(seq 1 $(date +%d)) | sed 's/,/like /; s/$/n/' like 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10,11
printf will print according to a format. In this case, the format ,%02d formats the numbers with commas and leading zeros.
The sed command puts the string you want at the beginning of the line and adds a newline at the end.
