[KLUG Members] url encode in a bash script

[bill]

I appreciate the link, but I can't read the script.  It looks like it 
requires a file instead of a variable, and I'm not sure how to include 
an outside script in the current script.

Maybe I'm making things too complicated.  I simply want to get the date 
of a local file from within a bash script.  I was thinking of capturing 
the output of stat and sending it off to parse elsewhere.  The output of 
stat has spaces, etc., so it needs to be urlencoded before sending.  If 
I could get just the date, which is already in the format of YYYY-MM-DD, 
I could send that off as-is.

kind regards,

bill
