John,
short date format like 10/25/2000 works well with StrToDate.
I have tried using (-) as a date separator, but didn't work although it is a
valid separator(I don't know why).
Also, if you try the NZ date like 25/10/2000 wouldn't work either.
Cheers.
Hi all,
Who knows the answer to this simple problem?
DateToStr(now) returns nicely the string equivalent for the
current date
using ShortDateFormat.
StrToDate('<date string>') returns the TDateTime for the
given date string.
However, when you have the date time settings so that you
use e.g.
'25-Oct-2000', thus the ShortDateFormat = 'dd-MMM-yyyy' then
it falls over.
The help on StrToDate says "ShortDateFormat global
variable--possible
combinations are m/d/y, d/m/y, and y/m/d".
This implies (to my opinion) that StrToDate is not using the
ShortDateFormat !
Eg. (using ShortDateFormat = 'dd-MMM-yyyy' )
DateToStr(now) returns nicely '25-Oct-2000'
but StrToDate needs '25-10-2000'
and so StrToDate( DateToStr(now) ) does not work!!
Has anybody any code to do a String-To-Date conversion using
ShortDateFormat?
Thanks a lot for any help.
John.
