I am just trying to turn this list into its seconds since epoch "+%s" time equivalent. I'm trying to use the following, but every time I run the command it gives me different answers, they are close, but never the same... any clues as to why?

Code:
xargs -I{} date -j -f "%m/%e/%Y %l:%M %p %Z" "{}" "+%s"

Definitely perplexed by this one. Smilie Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and I'm running this from Mac OS X on the command line.

Thanks!

NAME
dlacon.f - SYNOPSIS
Functions/Subroutines subroutine dlacon (N, V, X, ISGN, EST, KASE) DLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square matrix, using reverse communication for evaluating matrix-vector products. Function/Subroutine Documentation subroutine dlacon (integerN, double precision, dimension( * )V, double precision, dimension( * )X, integer, dimension( * )ISGN, double precisionEST, integerKASE) DLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square matrix, using reverse communication for evaluating matrix-vector products. Purpose: DLACON estimates the 1-norm of a square, real matrix A. Reverse communication is used for evaluating matrix-vector products. Parameters: N N is INTEGER The order of the matrix. N >= 1. V V is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N) On the final return, V = A*W, where EST = norm(V)/norm(W) (W is not returned). X X is DOUBLE PRECISION array, dimension (N) On an intermediate return, X should be overwritten by A * X, if KASE=1, A**T * X, if KASE=2, and DLACON must be re-called with all the other parameters unchanged. ISGN ISGN is INTEGER array, dimension (N) EST EST is DOUBLE PRECISION On entry with KASE = 1 or 2 and JUMP = 3, EST should be unchanged from the previous call to DLACON. On exit, EST is an estimate (a lower bound) for norm(A). KASE KASE is INTEGER On the initial call to DLACON, KASE should be 0. On an intermediate return, KASE will be 1 or 2, indicating whether X should be overwritten by A * X or A**T * X. On the final return from DLACON, KASE will again be 0.
