Date with zeros

[James Baker]

Aside from rolling my own solution (obviously not very difficult), is there
any way to cause a date such as 6/5/2004 to show up as 06/05/2004? Just
didn't know if there was an ASP function to do this or not.

Thanks,
James

No, there is no ASP function, as ASP is not a language but a platform
accommodating different languages serverside.

6/5/2004 could mean two different dates, btw.

==================================

//Javascript solution:

var d = "6/5/2004"

function two(x){
return (x<10)?"0"+x:""+x
}

d = d.split("/")

d[0] = two(d[0])
d[1] = two(d[1])

d = d.join("/")

====================================

'' vbscript solution

d = "6/5/2004"

function two(x)
two = right("0" & x, 2)
end function

d2 = split(d,"/")
d2(0) = two(d2(0))
d2(1) = two(d2(1))

d = join(d2,"/")

Semantics, lol. Yeah, I know the solution is a cakewalk but I figured if
there was a function, why not use it. Thanks none-the-less.

To make a variable be in the format of mm/dd/yyyy (and the final line of
code can be modifed for other date formats), perhaps try something like
the following which you might even make into a function:

varFld = CDate(MyVariable)

intMonth = Month(varFld)
intDay = Day(varFld)
intYr = Year(varFld)

If intMonth < 10 Then
strMonth = "0" & CStr(intMonth)
Else
strMonth = CStr(intMonth)
End If

If intDay < 10 Then
strDay = "0" & CStr(intDay)
Else
strDay = CStr(intDay)
End If

strYr = Right(CStr(intYr), 4) ' And change the 4 to 2 for 2 year dates.

varFld = CStr(strMonth & "/" & strDay & "/" & strYr)
