in reply to splitting a string into arbitrary lengths

If your problem definition really is as simple as your title, check out Puzzlement in Splitsville.

However, I really think mugwumpjism has it nailed: Use a date module :).

Good luck,

    I actually was doing this at first but the program I'm writing has to be as portable as
    possible, so I'm trying to avoid the inclusion of all but the absolute necessary modules.

    thanks. ryanc
