perl sprintf YYYYMMDD sample
The sprintf
function in Perl can be used to format a date string in the format YYYYMMDD. Here's an example:
use strict;
use warnings;
my ($year, $month, $day) = (2023, 11, 30);
my $date_string = sprintf("%04d%02d%02d", $year, $month, $day);
print $date_string;
This code snippet uses the sprintf
function to format the date components (year, month, and day) into a string with the desired format (YYYYMMDD). The %04d
specifies that the year should be represented as a four-digit number with leading zeros if necessary. The %02d
specifies that the month and day should be represented as two-digit numbers with leading zeros if necessary.
The resulting $date_string
variable will contain the formatted date string "20231130". You can modify the values of $year
, $month
, and $day
to get the desired date.
I hope this helps!
