Hi: The stat(<filename>) command returns an array of values for the file in question, one of which is the date of last modification. However, the date is encoded somehow, and I can't figure out how to convert it into a user-readable value. The value I get is: "931198265". -Graeme. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Graeme Kennedy P 604.816.6061 SEER Communications F 604.261.5339 PO Box 71027 E mailto:graeme@seercom.com Vancouver, BC V6N 4J9 W http://www.seercom.com ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
