Re: Question on datestr()

[Dr.-Ing. Dieter Jurzitza]

Hi Nick,
thank you very much for sheding some light on this issue. I took the manual 
wrong, I had thought this would behave similar as the shell command "date", 
what is wrong. 
Now I switched to system() & date, as date seems to be more flexible in this 
regard.
I got what I had had wanted to get in the meantime,
thanks again
