VelvetElvis Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Sorry, but try as I might, regular expressions and the StringFormat function help leave me glassy-eyed.I need to pad a date string like "2010-6-1" to "2010-06-01" so that month and day always have 2 digits.Thanks.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 22, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2010 VelvetElvis, How are you generating your date string? Does it come as single string or are you creating it from (3) other strings? If the former, we have to split the string before formatting it - if the latter we do it first.

M23Hi;I get the string as "6/1/2010" and I have to convert it to "2010-06-01" (yyyy-mm-dd) so I can use it as part of a filename.If I can get it into "mm/dd/yyyy" I can use string functions to rearrange it. However, I'm open to easier answers. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
