The 'le' utility, posted to the net some time ago, has an option -f which causes dates to be output YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM for sorting. It was intended to help with sorting, but would make your task a bit easier, too. You can use awk, get the field using substr rather than the field number, and use the 'split' function to determine if the value is a time, and if so put the year in place of the time. This is an uglier solution, but it uses all portable tools. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
