U.K. Lines: 19 I regularly munge date strings in various admin scripts - I also run an archive and often have to work with remote sites "ls -l" listings. So I'm after a some routines to parse dates. I guess it must be a relatively common thing to do so someone out there must have something suitable already? Please? I currently pass dates out to a little program that uses getdate and strftime to do the work. But that is very slow.
