Thanks, this works perfectly. I had to transpose the month and day
variables, though. I have the perl solution almost finished, thanks to
Jeremy's help, so I think I will use this solution if I can't get the perl
one to work.
I would prefer to use perl because there has been talk of converting our
webservers to Linux and the perl script will port over with only minor
changes.
But thanks anyway for this little tidbit. Maybe I can use this elsewhere!
