changing the date format

[n78298]

Hello Friends

This is my first post.

I am having problems in convetring teh date format.
I have following code.

if(!strcmp(elementbuf, "depDate"))
{
strncpy((char *)amflightdets[numflights].flightDate, contents, 6);
amflightdets[numflights].flightDate[6] = '\0';
}
I get the value as 180906. (ddmmyy)

I want to change this value to 18SEP (ddMON) . I want to change this in amflightdets[numflights].flightDate varibale .

What are the options I can use .

Thanks in advance..

use the second 2 figits of the original value and convert them to a binary number (i.e. month number) use that to look up in and array of month names and add the relevent month name to the firs 2 digits to give ddMON.

Thanks for yor reply. I have also tried to code the same thing. extracting the middle 2 digits and using switch case give MON name according to month value.

But the problem is I m not able to code this as i m new in c++. I m getting errors while trying to do so. If someone can help me with syntax to achieve this ( extracting middle 2 chars and based on that give Month name) I will be very greatful . I searched web for this but of no avail.

can u post ur complete code..if the below is not what u want..

if the input date is 180906 integer.


unsigned date = 180906;
char Date_in_DDMONYY[8];
int date_month = date / 100;
int month = date_month % 100;
int date = date_month /100;
int Digit_in_day = date /10;
int year = date%1000;
switch(Digit_in_day)
{
case 0:
Date_in_DDMONYY[0] = L "0";
break;
case 1:
Date_in_DDMONYY[0] = L"1";
break;
case 2:
Date_in_DDMONYY[0] = L"2";
break;
case 3:
Date_in_DDMONYY[0] = L"3";
break;
}

switch(Digit_in_day%10)
{
case 0:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L "0";
break;
case 1:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"1";
break;
case 2:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"2";
break;
case 3:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"3";
break;

case 4:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"4";
break;
case 5:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"5";
break;
case 6:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"6";
break;
case 7:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"7";
break;
case 8:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"8";
break;
case 9:
Date_in_DDMONYY[1] = L"9";
break;

}

switch(month)
{
case 1:
Date_in_DDMONYY[2] = L" J";
Date_in_DDMONYY[3] = L"A";
Date_in_DDMONYY[4] = L"N";
break;

case 2:
Date_in_DDMONYY[2] = L" F";
Date_in_DDMONYY[3] = L"E";
Date_in_DDMONYY[4] = L"B";
break;
case 3:
Date_in_DDMONYY[2] = L" M";
Date_in_DDMONYY[3] = L"A";
Date_in_DDMONYY[4] = L"R";
break;
case 4:
Date_in_DDMONYY[2] = L" A";
Date_in_DDMONYY[3] = L"P";
Date_in_DDMONYY[4] = L"R";
break;
case 5:
Date_in_DDMONYY[2] = L" M";
Date_in_DDMONYY[3] = L"A";
Date_in_DDMONYY[4] = L"Y";
break;
case 6:
Date_in_DDMONYY[2] = L" J";
Date_in_DDMONYY[3] = L"U";
Date_in_DDMONYY[4] = L"N";
break;
case7:
Date_in_DDMONYY[2] = L" J";
Date_in_DDMONYY[3] = L"U";
Date_in_DDMONYY[4] = L"L";
break;
...
.
.
.
.

}

similar for year
switch(year/10)
{
case 1:
Date_in_DDMONYY[5] =L"1";
break;
case 2:
}

switch(year%10)
{
case 1:
Date_in_DDMONYY[6] =L"1";
break;

}

Date_in_DDMONYY[7] ='\0':

cout<<Date_in_DDMONYY;

}

try optimizing..
