Check the documentation on sprintf(). I don't have perl with me, but I think "perldoc -f sprintf" will find it, otherwise you can look through the perlfunc section of the docs for sprintf. Offhand I'd guess that %02u refers to an unsigned integer in decimal format?
-----Original Message----- From: Troy May To: Perl Beginners Sent: 3/1/02 5:50 PM Subject: Time and date formats What do the letters after the "%02" mean? I know about "%02d", but I came across a few scripts with "%02u" in it. I've never seen that, what does it mean? What's the difference between the "d" and the "u"? And what ELSE can you possibly use there? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
