Help on Date Format

Could someone tell me why this is happening? When I use this command, it used to give me 20010405.doc (mmdd.doc), now it's giving me 2001 4 5.doc - I'm losing the leading zeros. Command is on Perl 5 - printf(\%s%02s%02s.doc,$year,$month,$day). Thanks.

Hi Susan, I get what you expect: perl -wle '$y=2001;$m=4;$d=5;printf(\%s%02s%02s.doc,$y,$m,$d)'; 20010405.doc Personally, I like POSIX.pm for dates. # perl -MPOSIX -wle 'print strftime(%Y%m%d, localtime) . .doc'; 20010424.doc 'perldoc POSIX' to learn more (look for strftime). Cheers, Kevin

Re: Help on Date Format

In this case, it wont really matter. Since 1 and 1 is essentially the same. If you were actually using a signed integer (in decimal), then you would see the difference: From perldoc -f sprintf: %s a string %d a signed integer, in decimal [root@fluffhead /]# perl -e 'printf %04s\n,
