texte = That looks really cool....thanks. Specifically though, I'm working with RSS feeds where this is the standard time format. I can generate the same with the [date] + format abbreviations. I was just hoping there might be a secret trick to essentially do a backwards format conversion natively. something like...... [unformat date %a, %d %b %Y %X]Wed, 08 Jun 2011 18:46:44[/unformat] (obviously a product of my imagination) I created a function to do what I need though.
