formatdatetime

If this has been asked before, please point me in the right direction. I can't seem to find anything useful with my google-ing skills. I have the following code, which reads in a string like this; Outage StartDate: 05/10/11 23:59 EST And pulls out the date information, i.e. 05/10/11 23:59 sStartTime = Mid(objItem.Body, 18, 15) ' Extract the start time Debug.Print "sStartTime after reading: " & sStartTime sStartTime = Format(sStartTime, "dd/mm/yy hh:mm") ' Format date correctly Debug.Print "sStartTime after formatting: " & sStartTime This is what output I usually get: sStartTime after reading:

This code should work in Delphi XE2, but it gives "not a valid date and time" error in StrtoDateTime conversion: procedure TForm2.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var s: string; d: TDateTime; FmtStngs: TFormatSettings; begin GetLocaleFormatSettings(GetThreadLocale, FmtStngs); FmtStngs.DateSeparator := #32; FmtStngs.ShortDateFormat := 'dd mmm yyyy'; FmtStngs.TimeSeparator := ':'; FmtStngs.LongTimeFormat := 'hh:nn'; s := FormatDateTime('', Now, FmtStngs); d := StrToDateTime(s, FmtStngs); end; Any hints? If you want to convert some special DateTime-Formats you should better use VarToDateTime

I have a loop that goes through all the news items we have on our site. One of the fields is date ${newsitem.value['Date']} , given in millliseconds. I'd like to display this date in month/day/year format on the webpage. I thought JSTL format tag, <fmt:formatDate> , would help, but I haven't succeeded. Do you know how to do it? <cms:contentaccess var="newsitem" /> <h2><c:out value="${newsitem.value['Title']}" /></h2> // display date here <c:out value="${newsitem.value['Text']}" escapeXml="false" /> Yes the JSTL formatDate tag should do the job in combination with changing the Timestamp value
