The same you your doing $year, $mon, $mday use %02d which tells
sprintf to add leading zeros as need to keep the size correct. So
\_$hour\:$min\:$sec becomes \_%02d\:%02d\:%02d and you add the $hour,
$min and $sec after the $mday.

          If you have any problems or questions, please let me know.

     Thanks.

Just a quick easy one, while printing localtime, how do I get it to
print the full minutes and seconds, i.e. :02??

Thanks,
Tim

my $date;
my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year) = (localtime) [0,1,2,3,4,5];
$year=$year+1900; $mon=$mon+1; $date =
sprintf("%02d%02d%02d\_$hour\:$min\:$sec", $year,$mon,$mday);
