Long date to Short

[Kevin]

If i am not mistaken date strings are locale specific . if your long date string is not in english will have to adjust find .

if the day is first and in another language change code to something like this

Code:

Copy      Help

str s.timeformat("{DD}")
out s
// remove day and comma from string
int i = find(s "," 0 1)
s.remove(0 i+1)
s.trim
out s
//convert to Date
DATE d1(s)
out d1
//convert to DateTime if needed
DateTime d.FromStr(s) ;;;directly from string
out d.ToStr(1)
DateTime d2.FromDATE(d1);;from Date
out d2.ToStr(1)

this finds the first comma and removes everything to the left of it. to help more post the output of str s.timeformat("{DD}")
