Gregg You could either manipulate the character returned by today(), or try using Sys.time() instead. For example, on Windows,
paste(strsplit(date(), ' ')[[1]][c(2,3,5,4)], collapse='_') gives Jan_09_2009_13:40:57 which approaches what you want. Alternatively format(Sys.time(), "%b_%d_%y_%H%M") gives Jan_09_09_1342 which only needs LMSMOD pasted to the front which sep='_'. HTH ...
