#   assignment 5: Date Validate / Format 
#   Date: 11/08/2016 ELLECTION DAY!!!!
#
#  program description
#     Input: Accept input for the first program via the command-line arguments. 
#            Input will be the number of valid entries to be redirected from 
#            the dates input file (dates.dat). A zero indicates to input all
#            entries from the dates input file. Your program should validate
#            (day, month & year - see page 111 for validation ideas) and skip 
#            corrupt dates in the dates.dat file (see page 159 for scanning 
#            ideas). This validated input will then be piped out to the 
#            second program. 
#            The second program will accept these validated dates in the 
#            month/day/year format and convert each of them to the day, 
#            abbreviated month & year format — both exhibited above. The 
#            abbreviated month should consist of the first three letters of 
#            the month, capitalized. These converted results will be redirected 
#            to the output file (output.dat), followed by a copy of the 
#            original (dates.dat) data.
#
#     Output: Generates an output file (output.dat) that contains a 
#             converted list of dates in day, abbreviated month & year 
#             format (i.e. 1 JAN 1900), followed by the original list of 
#             dates in month/day/year format (i.e. 1/1/1900). This output file 
#             will be the result of appending the input file (dates.dat), which
#             is accessed by the first program, with the result output file 
#             (output.dat), generated by the second program.

#  how to compile and execute:
#    1.Open the terminal
#        Go to the program folder that contains all the files required for 
#        the program to compile including all header files(*.h). 
#        Run the following command "make"
#
#    2.Open the terminal
#        Go to the program folder that contains all the files required for 
#        the program to compile including all header files(*.h). 
#        COMPILE: "gcc -Wall -w -lm readDate.c dateValidate.c -o validateDate"
#
#    Program execution:
#    From the terminal enter:
#     “./validateDate < dates.dat [X] | ./format > output.dat"
#
#     X: is the amount of validated dates 
#
