Hi,
I've had no trouble doing this. Under a bash shell (cygwin B20.1), here's
what I got:
$ TID=`date +"%d%m%y%H%M%S"`
$ echo $TID
160799090157
You failed to mention the symptoms/problems you encountered under the bash
shell. Did you receive an error message? The phrase "I've tried the same
syntax in BASH-shell, but without luck." doesn't offer much in the way of
information for us to be able to help you.
Regards,
Mike.

Hi !
I've problems with initialize a variable with a dynamic variable like
"date". In Korn Shell I've used the following syntax with success:
TID=`date +"%d%m%y%H%M%S"`
I've tried the same syntax in BASH-shell, but without luck. In BASH-shell
it only work for me with the following syntax:
date +"%d%m%y%H%M%S" > tid
read TID < tid
Can you help me !
Thanks in advance !
