[cfaussie] Re: Convert a date to a proper date object
I don't know it's weird. I tried heaps of simpler ways to force this to work but in the end that solution worked pretty well. I guess it's a time offset or something. Usually one of our ( ColdFusion ) date functions would work but not this time ( unless I missed something ? ) Paul.

[cfaussie] Re: Convert a date to a proper date object
Looks like it is formatted like a javascript date also notice there is no time zone info thoughbit of a pain that is thanks for the code snipped though. i actually decided to do it this way tweetDate = ParseDateTime(listFirst(ListSetAt(tweetDate, 1, listLast(tweetDate, ), ), +)); basically turn Fri Sept 19 16:30:00 + 2009 into 2009 Fri Sept 19 16:30:00 and then parse it with ParseDate() _ From: Paul Kukiel [mailto:kuki...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 8 October 2009 10:36 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Convert a date to a proper date object I don't know it's weird.

[cfaussie] Re: Convert a date to a proper date object
I can't believe how timely this is! I had JUST started staring at this date and begun thinking about how i was going to deal with this, when this thread popped up. @Paul i think your answer is tres elegant.Thanks. @Steve your solution looks elegant too, but I just KNOW what would happen in my case - i'd miss off a close bracket or something. I know it would happen because i have little invisible gremlins sitting on my shoulder that wait for me to code lines like that and fire a spark or something at my keyboard so it misses off keystrokes.

[cfaussie] Re: Convert a date to a proper date object
You could also do it at the db level. obvisouly sending the string to the db to get a timestamp back is not very effective performance wise, but if you're going to insert it in a table of yours anyway you might as well convert it there. Of if you've stored a heap of them as strings in the db and you query on the lot for reporting. DECLARE @mydate AS VARCHAR(50) SET @mydate = 'Wed Oct 07 22:59:00 + 2009' SELECT CAST(SubString(@mydate, 4, 8) + RIGHT(@mydate, 4) + SubString(@mydate, 11, 9) AS datetime) Tof On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 11:15 AM, Steve Onnis st...@cfcentral.com.au wrote: @mike That's why you just copy and paste :P -Original Message- From: Mike Kear [mailto:afpwebwo...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 8 October 2009 11:13 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Convert a date to a proper date object I can't believe how timely this is!
