I know the correct answer should be 001, but I keep getting 179 which is
the correct answer for June 28, 2014 (I think). I tried using datecode
in various places instead of today but I am still getting 179. Currently
using Ubuntu 12.04.4 and Python 2.7. Thanks for any feedback and suggestion.


PROGRAM DISPLAY:

# datefind 03.py

import datetime

datecode = "20140101" # from database on file

month = datecode[4:6]
day  = datecode[6:8]
year  = datecode[0:4]
datecode = year + "-" + month + "-" + day
today = datecode
print today
print

print "Day of year: ", datetime.date.today().strftime("%j")

datetime.date.today() ? :)

Thanks but it came out:

Day of year:  2014-06-28

What I wanted was 001 for 01-01-2014 as specified in datecode.

Ken
