Parse Date in Bash

by

Does it have to be bash? You can use the GNU coreutils /bin/date binary for many transformations:

 $ date --date="2009-01-02 03:04:05" "+%d %B of %Y at %H:%M and %S seconds"
 02 January of 2009 at 03:04 and 05 seconds

This parses the given date and displays it in the chosen format. You can adapt that at will to your needs.
