thanks!!! apparently so... i did a quick "'ps' search" shell script, and apparently the version of sed that was called was plan9 sed - '/opt/plan9/bin/sed'. Did a "quick test" by symlinking plan9's sed to the regular sed, and what'dyaknow, it worked!! My date display is now in the proper format i want.... thanks!!!! I'll probably implement my fix later (no, not to move with plan9 sed, but to call my own regular sed instead. And dont worry - i'll put back that original plan9 sed ;)) > The only error I see in your regexps regarding the p9 format is > that you escape the parentheses for grouping.
