Interesting. I've done that on other's systems using the file's mtime in the past, but perhaps I should be using the filename. I couldn't access the script, but with awk (gawk) I'd attack it with $ awk '{print strftime("%Y-%m-%d %T %z %a", $0, 1), $0}' 1483742072.M8387P41448.family.redbarn.org,S=4220,W=4316:2,Sb 2017-01-06 22:34:32 +0000 Fri 1483742072.M8387P41448.family.redbarn.org,S=4220,W=4316:2,Sb 0 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 Thu 0 1520164774 2018-03-04 11:59:34 +0000 Sun 1520164774 ^D $ So «ls | awk $abovescript | awk '/^2017/ {print $NF}'», etc. Also gives a way of counting emails by weekday. :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
