Don't overlook the winky and the spirit that the help was offered in (after his problem had already been solved). But, OP had 2 digits for year for a conversion he was choosing himself, forming good habits is a good thing, and if you ever have to read YYYYMMDD in a non-fixed space font (like some of the cool kids like to use nowadays) then the two extra characters can really help in discerning between year, month and day fields. Two "extra" characters might be a lot on a diddy screen, but I still ponder how much of the DOS 8.3 filenaming convention constrains us in systems that always had magic numbers and long filenames.
