in reply to Replacing $mon with Jan, Feb, Mar by regex or other means
jonnyfolk,
The best way that I have found to do this was using a hash.
my %month3letter = ( 12 => 'Jan', 1 => 'Feb', 2 => 'Mar', 3 => 'Apr', 4 => 'May', 5 => 'Jun', 6 => 'Jul', 7 => 'Aug', 8 => 'Sep', 9 => 'Oct', 10 => 'Nov', 11 => 'Dec' );
Or-well mabye I just like hashes, anyway I have had a great deal of success with it.
Thanks,
Greg
