Re: Date Object and Functions

Thank You, Luiz
Now everything is OK:-)

I read about strfind function in "Programing in
Lua",Roberto Ierusalimschy but it is about Lua 4.0...
In my opinion, reading "Lua 5.0 Reference Manual",
gfind is the nearest by strfind...but I don't know why
it does not work as well I suppose:-(
