How to get custom formatted date from qtp - sailakshmi - 08-23-2008

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,
Nilanjan

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.
