You can use the datepart function in VBScript to return each component of the date.

Example: nMonth = Datepart("m", #7/4/2001#)

To get other parts of the date, change the "m" to "d" for days, "yyyy" for year.

You'll probably need to make a function to add the leading zero to single-digit months or days.

VBScript also provides specific functions (Year, Month, Day) to get the information you need to build your new date format. Following is a one-line function that will do the whole thing!


<%
function MyDate(TheDate)
  MyDate = CStr(Year(TheDate)) & Right("0" & CStr(Month(TheDate)),2) & Right("0" & CStr(Day(TheDate)),2)
end function
%>


To use it, just pass it the Date you want converted. Example -


New Date Format for today is: <%=MyDate(Now)%>


That's it!

and here is what like every ASP message board in existance uses

put on your secret decoder ring )


function doublenum(fNum)
	if fNum > 9 then 
		doublenum = fNum 
	else 
		doublenum = "0" & fNum
	end if
end function

function StrToDate(strDateTime)
	if ChkDateFormat(strDateTime) then
		StrToDate = cdate("" & Mid(strDateTime, 5,2) & "/" & Mid(strDateTime, 7,2) & "/" & Mid(strDateTime, 1,4) & " " & Mid(strDateTime, 9,2) & ":" & Mid(strDateTime, 11,2) & ":" & Mid(strDateTime, 13,2) & "")
	end if
end function

function DateToStr(dtDateTime)
	DateToStr = year(dtDateTime) & doublenum(Month(dtdateTime)) & doublenum(Day(dtdateTime)) & doublenum(Hour(dtdateTime)) & doublenum(Minute(dtdateTime)) & doublenum(Second(dtdateTime)) & ""
end function

function ChkDateFormat(strDateTime)
	ChkDateFormat =  isdate("" & Mid(strDateTime, 5,2) & "/" & Mid(strDateTime, 7,2) & "/" & Mid(strDateTime, 1,4) & " " & Mid(strDateTime, 9,2) & ":" & Mid(strDateTime, 11,2) & ":" & Mid(strDateTime, 13,2) & "")
end function


easy as

strDate = DateToStr( Now() ) to "encode" it

formattedDate = StrToDate( strDate ) to "decode" it
