Localtime or gmtime would work. Once you have the timestamp of the first Saturday, you can just increment the timestamp by an ammount, in seconds for a daya, i.e. $saturday+=24*3600; Just "feed" the adjusted timestamp as a parameter to localtime and get the values of month, day and year. Do this loop 14 times and you have your 2 weeks of dates. If you always run this program on Friday then you can get the starting timestamp value by adding 24 hours worth of seconds to the current time, e.g. $saturday=time()+24*3600; Alternatively you can set $Saturday to time() and then in your loop, increment it by 24*3600 before using it as a parameter to localtime. **** [EMAIL PROTECTED] <Carl Jolley> **** All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer **** _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
