Timestamp to Epoch in a CSV file with GAWK

Question

Looking to convert human readable timestamps to epoch/Unix time within a CSV file using GAWK in preparation for loading into a MySQL DB.

Data Example:

Answer 1

You can convert date to epoch with this snippet :

$ date -d 'Tuesday, November 26 12:17 PM' +%s
1385464620

So finally :

awk -F";" '{system("date -d \""$6"\" '+%s'")}' file

Thanks @Keiron for the snippet.
