I thought this would be easy but it is not! I want to change the
format of
the date inserted in a field of an application by CalendarWidget100
to a
different format. For example, change 2009,9,10 to Sept 10, 2009.
I was able to change the sequence of the date format from 2009,9,10 to
9,10,2009 but changing the month from 9 to name of the month (Sept)
is more
complicated! Does anybody have any suggestions?
You're best off just using the convert command. So if what you're
getting from CalendarWidget is 2009,9,10, just do something like:
--assume you put the date from the calendar widget into a variable
tDate
put tDate & 0,0,0,0 into tDate -- pad out with zeros to get a
complete set of date items
convert tDate to abbreviated date --> it should come out as Thu,
Sep 10, 2009
Hope this helps.
