bashdate

How to output the date without a colon

I am using the date command in bash:

date +%T*

01:49:14

But how to display it without the colons?

Solution

  • When I do man date I got.

    %T time; same as %H:%M:%S

    Then why don't we do which will give same output as %T option in date rather than using %T with external or bash tools to get results in different forms:

    date +"%H-%M-%S"
OR
date +"%H/%M/%S"
OR
date +%H%M%S       ##Without any output delimiter
