dude, I just turned it around and it works fine: date -d '2:46PM Mar 16 2001'
+"%b %e %Y %l:%M%p"

I'm trying to convert dates in a large datafile:

My dates are in the format:
Mar 1 2001  2:46PM
Mar 15 2001 12:30AM

I'm trying to convert them using the date command:

date -d 'Mar 16 2001  2:46PM' +"%b %e %Y %l:%M%p"

But I get:

invalid date `Mar 16 2001  2:46PM'
