How to get custom formatted date from qtp

[sailakshmi]

Hi,

I am trying to get a date format changed from YYYY-MM-DD to mm/dd/yyyy.

can someone please help to set this date format?

Thanks,
Sai

If your date format is an string (from an inputfield or sth like that), you can dismember the string in different parts:

Code:

year = left(YYYY-MM-DD, 4) month = left(right(YYYY-MM-DD, 5), 2) day = right(YYYY-MM-DD, 2) newdateformat = month & "/" & day & "/" & year

You have to adapt the code if you have no leading "0", 23.5.2008 instead of 23.05.2008.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Below code might help to fulfill the requirement.Just Used 2 VBScripts functions to meet the requirement.

Code:

x="2012-07-19" msgbox x z=Replace(x,"-","/") msgbox z z1=Split(z,"/") msgbox z1(1)+"/"+z1(2)+"/"+z1(0)

If anyone having better idea please share like ( FormatdateTime functions will work or not i am not sure)

Thanks,

You can also try

Code:

MsgBox FormatDateTime(#2012-07-20#,vbShortDate) 'vbShortDate-Displays a date using the short date format specified in your computer's regional settings.
