Re: Date format question
I would say that the client who is using your api is not using the datetime.parse method in .net which allows you to add a culture specific format when a string date is parsed. the .NET parse method is an overloaded .NET method that can either take the following forms. Parse(String) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1k1skd40.aspx Parse(String, IFormatProvider)http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kc8s65zs.aspx Parse(String, IFormatProvider, DateTimeStyles)http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ey1cdcx8.aspx Regards Gary Gilbert http://www.garyrgilbert.com/blog On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 11:14 AM, Stefan Richter ste...@flashcomguru.comwrote: My CF app stores dates in a MySQL database which I often submit simply using NOW() in my SQL statement.

RE: Date Format Question
Date = parseDateTime(Rereplace(date, ^([0-9]{4}):([0-9]{2}):(.*)$,
\1/\2/\3));
Date = dateFormat(date, ...);
You might be able to get by with removing either parseDateTime() or the
Rereplace(), but I'm not 100% sure.

Subject: Date Format Question
I've got a date-time that is goinmg to be passed to me as this:
2003:12:27 12:19:58
Can anyone suggest the best way to get that into a more
friendly format as in..
12/27/03 12:19pm ??
It obviously won't fit into standard dateformat function. Any
ideas I can come up with are complicated. There must be an
easy solution?

what about cfset myDate = replace(listFirst(2003:12:27 12:19:58, ), :, /, all) cfset myDate = createDate(listFirst(myDate, /), listGetAt(myDate, 2), listLast(myDate, /)) cfset myTime = listLast(2003:12:27 12:19:58, ) #dateFormat(myDate, dd/mm/yy)# #timeFormat(myTime, hh:mm tt)# Taco Fleur Bloghttp://www.tacofleur.com/index/blog/ http://www.tacofleur.com/index/blog/ Methodology http://www.tacofleur.com/index/methodology/ Tell me and I will forget Show me and I will remember Teach me and I will learn -Original Message- From: Jeff Fongemie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 18 February 2004 2:29 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Date Format Question I've got a date-time that is goinmg to be passed to me as this: 2003:12:27 12:19:58 Can anyone suggest the best way to get that into a more friendly format as in.. 12/27/03 12:19pm ??
