Hello Jasen,
I hope you like the subject line!
I took:

ran the batch file with your code and got:

WOW! Beautiful piece of work:
:: build a date conversion expression in a variable...
set dateconversion=%=
%%{at}instr[%{at}index[%orig,%{at}instr[0,2,%df]],2,%%date]%{at}instr[2,1,%df]%=
%%{at}instr[%{at}index[%orig,%{at}instr[3,2,%df]],2,%%date]%{at}instr[5,1,%df]%=
%%{at}instr[%{at}index[%orig,%{at}instr[6,2,%df]],2,%%date]
:: aren't interpreted languages fun!
Yes, and so...., so....., so elegant. I ran the batch again (it's just
after midnight) and the data file:

I've encountered a different sort of problem with one of the batch files
that I am calling..... It is displaying 4dos error messages to the screen
when called, yet when run from the commandline, the batch performs as it
should. I'm gonna have to see if some variable names might be
"bleeding" through....
Cheers ... Gerald
