I need to expound more on the question. How can I get year in YYYY format from date. A table of date formatting codes would be real helpful. Patterned after Mikes reply: date +%Y. That yeilds the YY segment of the full CCYY year value.
echo `date +%Y`
prints 10

echo `date +%Y`

By the way, there's no need to:
echo `date +%Y`
because
date +%Y
automatically prints to stdout.

How about this:
DateToParse="January 12, 1967" # put whatever date you want here, in almost any format
YEAR=`date -d "$DateToParse" +'%Y'`
echo "The year is $YEAR"
DateToParse="January 12, 1967" # put whatever date you want here, in almost any format
YEAR=`date -d "$DateToParse" +'%Y'`
echo "The year is $YEAR"

Shell Scripting
The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.
