I looked it up in ruby-doc.org, it has at least one line line comment on every method in the Date class except for the strftime() which is completely blank. So, how do I find info on characters it recognise and how it intepret each character? PHP has a table in the link in my first post, I looked at Ruby's source for strftime(), and the formats are not quite the same. Robo
