Guys, Just wondering if you could lend me a little hand. Basically I want to rename a file from log.1 log.2 etc to log.10.36.34. The time stamp (ignore the date) should be the last written time, so far I've got to this stage: stat log | sed -n '/Modify:/p' | awk -F ' ' '{print $3}' so I get : 11:01:09.000000000 How can I get rid of the leading 0'swithout having to pipe the output to anotehr awk statement, is it possible to do this withing the current awk statement?
