Converting dates

1 New Member
I'm working on some homework and can't figure this one out. Hopefully someone out there can help me.

I am to create a script that allows a user to enter a date. The date can be entered with any of the following values: 4/9/04, 4/9/2004, 04/9/04, 04/09/2004 and 4/09/04. My script should display the date entered by the user as a string that reads April 9, 2004. This is simply a script that is run from the command line using the -w switch.

Post the code you have written so far. Maybe you are close to getting it right.
