For example, let's say I have some dates that look like this:7-30-05 12-5-2006 10-2-06 What I'd like to end up with is this... 07/30/2005 12/05/2006 10/02/2006
Sorry this is a bit off topic:I just wanted to add that ms excel, or some databases, will recognize the data correctly, even if you supply them as is. You will not need to do any search and replace.
At least, postgresql correctly recognizes the three examples you gave. Regards, Ben K. Developer http://benix.tamu.edu
