Good to hear the suggestion seems to work out for you Smilie
Let me explain what it means:
Code:
while ( ytd_date !~ /^[01][0-9][0-3][0-9][901][0-9]$/ ) {

This is a so-called "regular expression" , which means that the number must contain 6 digits (each bracket pair represents a digit), where the
first one ([01]) may be 0 or 1,
the second ( [0-9]) between 0 and 9
the 3rd between 0 and 3 and
...
the 5th number ([901]) 9, 0 or 1.
..

So the modification changes ([901] to [0-9]) so that the 5th number may be between 0 and 9 inclusively.

SYNOPSIS

       profiles [-v] [-c SID] [-n SID] {file}

       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       profiles is a utility that reports and changes SIDs in windows registry files. It currently only supports NT.

       file
	   Registry file to view or edit.

       -v,--verbose

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

       The profiles man page was written by Jelmer Vernooij.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +--------------------+----------------------+
       |  ATTRIBUTE TYPE    |	ATTRIBUTE VALUE    |

NOTES

       Source for Samba is available on http://opensolaris.org.

       Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from the following example:

	    $ svcs samba wins winbind swat
	   STATE	  STIME    FMRI
	   disabled	  Apr_21   svc:/network/samba:default
	   disabled	  Apr_21   svc:/network/winbind:default
	   disabled	  Apr_21   svc:/network/wins:default
	   disabled	  Apr_21   svc:/network/swat:default

       where the services are:

	"samba"
	   runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions

	"wins"
	   runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)

	"winbind"
	   runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap

	"swat"
	   Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line documentation.
	   The service runs on software loopback network interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in browser will access
	   the SWAT service on local machine.

       Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT
       case the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
       networks.
