lines with no success. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in

1. passing a variable to the `date` command
Is there a way to pass a variable to the `date` function or another
function that would return a specific value based upon the format I
request?
Ex.
If I pass "8" I would want the function to return "Aug" for August
If I pass "09072000" I want `Thursday` returned.
so on and so forth.
