Ok, so I'm confused   What I want to do is create a directory where the name is the current date say mkdir(2002131);  What Can't figure out is how to build the date string. I'm sure I'm just missing something. Any thoughts.       -regards     -mark - Mark Richmond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Airvana Inc. 25 Industrial Ave. Chelmsford, MA 01824 Voice: 978-250-2669 Fax:   978-250-3910
