I read the date from Notepad and convert it into date using Dateserial function. I try to convert it into my desired format like fomat( ,"dd/mm/yy") but I am unable to do that. - Dim fs As New FileSystemObject
-
Dim ts As TextStream
-
Dim str As String
-
Dim int1 As Integer
-
Dim dt1 As String
-
Dim dt As Date
-
Dim date1 As Date
-
Dim DATE2 As Date
-
-
Set ts = fs.OpenTextFile("c:\1.txt", ForReading, True)
-
str = ts.ReadLine
-
dt1 = Trim(Mid(str, 1, 10))
-
date1 = DateSerial(Year(dt1), Month(dt1), Day(dt1))
-
DATE2 = Format(date1, "mm/dd/yy")
-
-
-
Set fs = Nothing
-
ts.Close
7 2080 - Set ts = fs.OpenTextFile("c:\1.txt", ForReading, True)
-
str = ts.ReadLine
-
dt1 = Trim(Mid(str, 1, 10))
-
date1 = Cdate(dt1)
-
DATE2 = Format(date1, "mm/dd/yy")
Serial is to convert a redable date to serial. see the code changes above..should work.
Or else use
FormatDateTime( dt1, <DateTimeEnumer ation>) DateTimeEnumera tion
vbGeneralDate For real numbers, displays a date and time. If the number has no fractional part, displays only a date. If the number has no integer part, displays time only. Date and time display is determined by your computer's regional settings.
vbLongDate Displays a date using the long-date format specified in your computer's regional settings.
vbShortDate Displays a date using the short-date format specified in your computer's regional settings.
vbLongTime Displays a time using the long-time format specified in your computer's regional settings.
vbShortTime Displays a time using the short-time format specified in your computer's regional settings.

I read the date ...
I don't see how Notepad has anything to do with this.
Anyway, allow me to try and explain the situation a bit. The Year(), Month() and Day() functions all accept a date value as a parameter, and extract the relevant piece of information from it. So you can't use them unless you already have a date value. What you have at that point is a string (which hopefully looks like a date). You need to use something like the DateValue() function to convert the string to a date.
Conversely, the Format() function is used to format a value (such as a number or a date) into a string, generally for display purposes. Keep in mind that dates are not stored in any particular format. They are just stored as a number. You use things like Format() to convert the number to whatever format you want to see at the time.
Try this version... - Dim fs As New FileSystemObject
-
Dim ts As TextStream
-
Dim strng As String
-
Dim dt1 As String
-
Dim date1 As Date
-
Dim Date2 As String
-
-
Set ts = fs.OpenTextFile("c:\1.txt", ForReading, True)
-
strng = ts.ReadLine
-
dt1 = Trim(Mid(strng, 1, 10))
-
date1 = DateValue(dt1)
-
Date2 = Format(date1,"mm/dd/yyyy")
-
' Note, it would be better to use something like this...
-
Date2 = Format(date1,"short date")
-
-
ts.Close
-
Set ts = Nothing
-
Set fs = Nothing
-
Note that I changed the variable name str, since Str is a reserved word (it's the name of a function to convert a numnber to a string).
hi
thanks for your reply
i tried with both the codes, after getting the date value from the flat file i couldn't change to my desired format.

Keep in mind that from VB's viewpoint what you are getting from the file is not a date value, but a string. To treat it as a date, you have to convert it.
Can you show us what you have now, and explain what the trouble is with it? I mean, do you get an error, or just unexpected results, or what?
hi

Hi
How about this :
Date2 = Format(cdate("2 7/09/07"),"dd-mm-yyyy")
Date2 = Format(cdate(dt 1),"dd-mm-yyyy")

for this 27/09/07 iam getting 9/7/2027 ( 27/09/07 is from notepad)
So, it's interpreting the value as being in either YY/MM/DD or YY/DD/MM format - there's no way to tell which from your example.
Have you checked your date format in Windows Regional Settings? I mean, if you have a bunch of numbers with slashes between them, Windows has to take its best guess as to what is where. To me 9/7/2027 would mean the 9th of July, while to an American it would be the 7th of September.
If all else fails, just chop up the string ( Split() function can do this for you) into three parts, and feed the three pieces into the DateSerial() function. Since it has separate Year, Month and Day parameters, there's no way (hopefully) that it can misinterpret them.
