Ok

This

dateCheck = [time.gsub(/\s/, '')[0..7] + time[26..29]]
      #printdata.push(dateCheck)
      @alerts.push dateCheck

gets me:

TueAug052008
TueAug052008
TueAug052008
WedAug062008
WedAug062008
TueAug052008

and this

dateCheck = [time.gsub(/\s/, '')[0..7] + time[26..29]]
      #printdata.push(dateCheck)
      @alerts.push dateCheck.uniq

gets me

TueAug052008
TueAug052008
TueAug052008
WedAug062008
WedAug062008
TueAug052008

Same data for both. When I do uniq! I get nothing

Many thanks
