You had mentioned shell code and because I had posted something earlier
about shell code I thought you were referring to my post. I didn't
realize that you were referring to an earlier post of yours. My bad
here, it is easy to get confused with references like this because they
are spread out over several days and e-mails. I should have gone back
and looked over the thread a bit more carefully before assuming your
e-mail was referring to my solution.
In retrospect it is all much clearer now, thanks for clarifying it.
Your points are well-taken and I totally agree with you that a shell
script can be a short and easy solution to a scripting problem.

I was just responding with a bit of humor at the speed difference
between Arthur's code and my code. He had said that his code
executes in 0.0024 seconds verses 0.01 seconds for mine, really a
trivial difference unless you are doing the formatting many times in
a tight loop. I jabbed back a about code size just to stick out my
tongue at him.

Greetings,
It's curious you would say this, because nowhere in my post did I
*ever* mention *you*. In point of fact I was responding to my *own*
post of 10/22 - 08:54 in which I delineated a short TID-based solution
*and* a shell script solution in rebuttal to Chris Garaffa's post. I
had mentioned Arthur's handler and so I posted it later that evening.
The timing information was *supposed* to give people a clue that for
one-off date calculations the shell script is by far the most
efficient means of producing a customized date-string (provide of
course that you have Mac OS X).
