`sub convert { if ($_[0] eq "7/Jun/2010:23:02:10 ") { return "2010061802:00:14"; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Almut's solution is good, but not scalable. If you use a hash, you can easily add more dates in the future. `my %DATES = ( "7/Jun/2010:23:02:10 " => "2010061802:00:14", "7/Zog/2100:12:63:13 " => "2010060608:39:11", "my birthday" => "1974012618:12:10", #simply add all the other dates to this hash! ); sub convert { return $DATES{$_[0]} }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

What's the relation between those two dates? Can you explain where did you get that 2010061802:00:14 from ?	[reply]
