Removing certain characters in given string

[autonoob]

Hi all,

I am a total noob with auto it, but I am trying to write a function to remove characters from the given string, ie "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS" to "DDMMYYYY HHMM"

The "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS" is pull from a text file and used earlier in my script as $datetime, but i need to reuse the same date/time but in the different format later on.

I am not to sure how to about this, any help would be great.

Thanks!

like this?

$a = "HH:MM:SS" 
$b = StringReplace($a,":","")
MsgBox(0,"",$B)

stringmid / stringleft / srtingright are good options

$a = "DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS"
$b = StringReplace($a,":","")
$c = StringReplace($b,"/","")
MsgBox(0,"",$c)

$d = StringTrimRight($c,2)
MsgBox(0,"",$d)
