You would be advised to look at the perl modules, Date::Calc or Date::Manip Having extracted your date, you need to get the day, month and year and then feed that into Date::Calc , eg; use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days); $Dd = Delta_Days($year1,$month1,$day1,$year2,$month2,$day2); -- Owen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
