[gradsusr] How to extract / display the file time when using a template?

[Bill Reilly]

Bob:

Put this in your script:

'q time'
mapdayofweek = subwrd(result,8)
mapday = substr(result, 11,2)
mapmonth = substr(result, 13,3)
mapyear = substr(result, 16,4)
maphour = substr(result,8,2)

This is how I do it.
