Question

This code:

wget --output-document=- http://runescape.com/title.ws 2>/dev/null \
| grep PlayerCount \
| head -1l \
| sed 's/^[^>]*>//' \
| sed "s/currently.*$/$(date '+%r %b %d %Y')/" \
| cut -d">" -f 3,4 \
| sed 's/<\/span>//'

outputs something similar to:

112,915 people 10:44:54 PM Mar 18 2012

Can anyone help me make it so it will print out to look like:

3/18/2012 22:44:54 112,915 people

Thanks!

You’ll have to make your command this:

wget --output-document=- http://runescape.com/title.ws 2>/dev/null \
| grep PlayerCount \
| head -1l \
| sed 's/^[^>]*>//' \
| sed "s/currently.*$/$(date '+%m\/%d\/%Y %H:%m:%S')/" \
| cut -d">" -f 3,4 \
| sed 's/<\/span>//' \
| awk '{print $3, $4, $1, $2}'
