Re: Replace Script w/ Date Conversion

Hi Chris,

Attached you can find a sample file. The only thing different in other files is that the order of the keys might differ. Let’s also assume all keys of “Eventtimestamp” do not have any corresponding value.

What I want to do is:

Batch process all files `event.txt` under `events`

events

- event-1

- event.txt

- event-2

- event.txt

- event-3

- event.txt

Create a UNIX timestamp (epoch) from the `Date` and `Time` values and add that timestamp after “Eventtimestamp: “

Nothing else needs to be added or removed.

Hope this clarifies what I’m trying to do.

Best regards,

Holger

I have a bunch of .yaml files in which I would like to replace/add one value with a timestamp, which needs to be created from two other fields/values. I think this needs the help of a filter/shell script and I’d love a pointer in the direction of how to achieve this.

Hey Holger,

It would be useful to have a couple of actual example files.

You need to explain how you plan to access the files – what your actual workflow looks like.

It appears that you're transforming from normal date/time to epoch time - yes?

That transformation will definitely require some scripting.

You say you need to replace/add one value – what does that mean?

Are you needing to remove both the date and time stamps and replace them with the “Eventtimestamp”?

Or are you needing to simply add the “Eventtimestamp” after the other stamps?
