I'm still newbie
Anyone can help me for putting date into a file which grep from other file? I use sed command but it gets error since the date format determine as a command. Here is the case :

"text1.tmp" contains :
Post Date 07/01/2008

"text2.tmp" contains :

1234562 45.0 xxxxxx
4452234 50.0 zzzzzz

How to use get only the date from text1 and add to every begining of the line of text2.tmp as below ?

07/01/2008 1234562 45.0 xxxxxx
07/01/2008 4452234 50.0 zzzzzz

thanks in advanced before.

Here we go..
Next code will give you the output file as text3.tmp

Code:

my_date=`grep -o '../../....' text1.tmp`
for i in `cat text2.tmp`
do
    echo $my_date $i >> text3.tmp
done
