I guess I should have shown the complete begining of the file. Here it is.

Now you can see line 10 is the first with 0 as an hour, but looking at some
of your replies it seems the %H in the timefmt string is looking for two
chars, so I guess I will have to change my perl program to do this?
Hmm Interesting. I guess that is what I will do, modify the program to make
the hours always two digits?
Unless someone else has a suggestion?
:)
