Michel Chayer sent in Formatted Date Srings (Tip #2186), a programmer's tool that accepts a date string in the form of DD/MM/YY (or nil for the current date) and returns a list of strings. The list of strings is the date value formatted in a variety of ways. All you have to do is pick the one you want for any given application. The names and formats in the function supplied by Michel are in French. It's easy enough to convert them to a different language and more formats once the code is in a text editor. |
