awk: Add number of days to current date












0















By assigning the date to awk, I can get current date as following in yyyy-mm-dd:



awk -F, -v date="20$(date +%y-%m-%d)" '{print date}'


Output:



2019-02-17


Is there a way to add number of days to current date, let's say 7, so the output would be:



2019-02-24


Noting that using a method like below isn't providing the required output:



awk -F, -v date="20$(date +%y-%m-%d +7 days)" '{print date}'
