Re: convert month number to month name

[Shaveta_Chawla]

Another method which can be used is

 
 $YEAR=`date "+%Y"`; #for year
 $month=`date "+%b"`; #convert numeric month to month name
 $DAY=`date "+%d"`; #for date

... which fails in a Windows-environment. There the command date expects a new date as user-input.
