Thanks. Works alright but returns a weird string when date was null. Any
workaround? Or some Perl hack is the way to go?

Below is an old message I still had in my archives.  It might be a 
little dated.

Also you might look over the docs here:

 
http://swish-e.org/current/docs/SWISH-RUN.html#Searching_Command_Line_Argume
nts

there's some discussion of date formating.

And if that's not enough:

  $ swish-e -w not dkdkd -x '<swishlastmodified fmt="%d %B %Y">\n' -H0
  08 January 2004

Post again if you need more help.

Seems to be a number of posts in the archives about this.  I searched
the swish-e list archives for

  swishlastmodifed fmt

And the first hit seems to have something:

  http://swish-e.org/archive/4076.html

If you happen to be using Template-Toolkit for output then it's best to
generate a timestamp and then format in your template (as mentioned in
that post).  That's using a %ld format.

moseley@bumby:~$ swish-e -w not dkdk -H0 -x '<swishlastmodified>\n'
2004-01-05 13:58:48 PST

moseley@bumby:~$ swish-e -w not dkdk -H0 -x '<swishlastmodified
fmt="%ld">\n'
