convert month from Aaa to xx in little script with awk

Question

I am trying to report on the number of files created on each date. I can do that with this little one liner:

ls -la foo*.bar|awk \'{print $7, $6}\'|sort|uni         


        

Answer 1

ls -la foo*.bar|awk '{sub(/Jan/,"01");sub(/Feb/,"02");print $7, $6}'|sort|uniq -c
