Changing date from MM/DD/YY to MM/DD/YYYY format

#1 Post by shaswat » 05 Nov 2015 07:12

Hi Team,

I have a requirement where I need to change the date format of the columns. Here I have provided my script, input file, output file and the desired output file. Please suggest the changes required in my script to get the desired output. Currently I am getting the output in the MM/DD/YY format but my system only supports the MM/DD/YYYY format. So please help me in achieving the required result. Thanks...!!

Code:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
set m=100
for %%M in (Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec) do (
   set /a m+=1
   set "%%M=!m:~1!"
)
::   1      2    3    4    5          6     
set "find1=(^|,)(\d)?(\d)-([a-z]{3})-(\d\d)(?=,|$)"
set "repl1=env($5)?($2+env($5)+'/'+($3?$3:'0')+$4+'/'+$6):$0"
::   7      8    9    10   11   12
set "find2=(^|,)(\d)?(\d/)(\d)?(\d/\d\d)(?=,|$)"
set "repl2=$8+($9?$9:'0')+$10+($11?$11:'0')+$12"
call jrepl "%find1%@%find2%" "%repl1%@%repl2%" /i /j /t @ /f "input.csv" /o "dateformat.csv"
for /f "tokens=1-8 delims=|" %%a in ('parseCSV.bat "/o:|" ^<dateformat.csv') do (
   echo "%%~a","%%~b","%%~c","%%~d","%%~e","%%~f","%%~g","%%~h">>output.csv
echo "Wait......Processing Files...!!!"
)

Input File:

Code: Select all

You could use "for /F" on the actual output string, and use the slash charracter ('/') as a delimiter.
Then write the topkens with the (now) missing slash characters and add "20" (without doublequotes) at the needed positions.

Although it will not give you the exact output you require, (since each field will be double quoted), this powershell script should output the correct data for you.
ReDateIt.ps1

Code: Select all

$cols = Import-CSV .\input.csv -Header A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H
foreach ($col in $cols)
{
   $col.A = Get-Date ([datetime]::ParseExact($col.A,"dd-MMM-yy",$null)) -Format "MM/dd/yyyy"
   $col.D = Get-Date ([datetime]::ParseExact($col.D,"dd-MMM-yy",$null)) -Format "MM/dd/yyyy"
   $col.H = Get-Date ([datetime]::ParseExact($col.H,"M/dd/yy",$null)) -Format "MM/dd/yyyy"
}
$cols | ConvertTo-CSV -notype | Select -Skip 1 | Set-Content .\output.csv
same rules as per my response in your last topic

Here are two solutions.

Solution 1 can under certain circumstances produce erroneous information.
Errors come about when the sign "/", "-" or the comma "," within expressions are with double quotes.

The solution 2 can under certain circumstances produce erroneous information.
Errors come about when the comma "," is within expressions with double quotes.


Solution 1

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions EnableDelayedExpansion
set m=100
for %%M in (Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec) do (
   set /a m+=1
   set "%%M=!m:~1!"
)

rem 17-Aug-15,516121,PSAM,14-Aug-15,O,Option,42655,8/21/15

Re: Changing date from MM/DD/YY to MM/DD/YYYY format

I have a batch that has a similar requirement. The easiest thing I found was to just use the replace.bat available here and run it on the output file to change the years that way.

The only thing you have to watch for is what you specify in the replace as it will also replace dates if you don't have a trailing , or space (for your output file).
