Make a Julian date out of it (jday or whatever it's called), then use JulianToEpoch or whatever it's called. So long since I've looked at the UBB6 source...

Thank you, my data is written as : 18-Jan-01 It looks like the Julian date format of that would be: January 18, 2001 Is that right? Hmm.. I think that's actually gregorian date format, not julian.  My time data is more the European Standard style

No, I mean, use the UBB's Julian routines to unmunge the dates into something reasonable.

Which is the best  here is a sub I've modified from one of my codes: my $unix = allen('18-Jan-01') || die "can't convert!";
print scalar localtime $unix;
sub allen {
require POSIX;
my $param = shift || die "No date input specified!";
my($mday, $month, $year) = split /-/, $param;
$year += 100 if $year < 70; # is 70..99 or 00..05
my $c = 0; # index counter
my %months = map{ $_ => $c++} qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec);
$month = $months{$month};
# these are unnecessary, but they define what the parameters are
my($hour, $min, $sec, $wday) = (0,0,0,0);
my $timestamp = POSIX::mktime($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $month, $year, $wday, 0, -1);
return $timestamp;
}

This is what I have so far. The first sub is the one that opens the data, the second one is what's supposed to convert the time: ###########################################################################################
sub ConvertTime{
&RequireUserLogin(1);
my @profile = &verify_id_num($username, $password, $user_number);
unless ($profile[8] eq 'Administrator' or 'Moderator') { &StandardHTML2("$vars_wordlets_err{no_access}"); exit;}
my @datafile = &OpenFileAsArray("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/links/links_data.cgi");
foreach $line(@datafile){
chomp $line;
@linearray = split(/||/,$line);
my $unix = &allen('$linearray[5]') || die "can't convert!";
print scalar localtime $unix;
}
&WriteFileAsArray("$vars_config{NonCGIPath}/links/links_data.cgi",@datafile);
##output
&StandardHTML("Time Format Converted - <a href="links_importer.cgi">Return to Import Script</a>");
}
###########################################################################################
sub allen {
require POSIX;
my $param = shift || die "No date input specified!";
my($mday, $month, $year) = split /-/, $param;
$year += 100 if $year < 70; # is 70..99 or 00..05
my $c = 0; # index counter
my %months = map{ $_ => $c++} qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec);
$month = $months{$month};
# these are unnecessary, but they define what the parameters are
my($hour, $min, $sec, $wday) = (0,0,0,0);
my $timestamp = POSIX::mktime($sec, $min, $hour, $mday, $month, $year, $wday, 0, -1);
return $timestamp;
}
########################################################################################### It really isn't doing anything yet. linearray[5] is where the time is stored in the data

you are saying single quotes don't interpolate You have to use double quotes: Try this one: foreach $line(@datafile){
chomp $line;
@linearray = split(/||/,$line);
$linearray[5] = &allen("$linearray[5]") || die "can't convert!";
}

theory not always works :rolleyes: this should do the trick: foreach my $line (@datafile){
chomp $line;
my @linearray = split(/||/,$line);
$linearray[5] = allen($linearray[5]) || die "can't convert!";
$line = join '||', @linearray;
}
