Just to expand on holli's excellent suggestion ... `perl -MPOSIX -le'print strftime "%x %X", localtime time' 07/06/05 17:05:49` [download] There are many more formatting options, have a look at the strftime docs Update Sorry did not read the OP too closely, he wants AM or PM so this may be more like it ... `perl -MPOSIX -le'print strftime "%r %x", localtime time' 06:47:16 PM 07/07/05` [download] Cheers, R.
