Hello all.
New here. Another student looking for a little help. Technically I wouldn't consider this a homework question, as it is part of a much larger project for my class. My professor is little help so I'm here now. I hope you can help.
I have a text file, and I need to print today's date at the end of the last line and in MM/DD/YYYY format.
What is in bold is what I have trouble with.
date +%m/%d/%Y will give you the proper format, but i'm not sure how you would append it to the last line.

I think it depends on the circumstances, but an easy way is:
echo \ date >> file
Mix sknake and hilliard solution
echo `date +%m'/'%d'/'%Y` >> file
That will append the date to a new line, not the end of the last line.
