Bags Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hi I'm fairly new to AutoIT. I am trying to convert dates from one format to other. My input date is in format "YYMMDD" e.g. (121130) . I have to add 2 days to it and output should be in "MMMDDYY" e.g. (DEC0212) format. Both the input and output is String. I searched the existing date time related functions but couldn't find any suitable implementation there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Try this: #include <Date.au3> Local Const $aMonths = ["JAN", "FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY", "JUN", "JUL", "AUG", "SEP", "OCT", "NOV", "DEC"] Local $DateIn = "121130" Local $DateInISO = _DateAdd("D", 2, StringRegExpReplace($DateIn, "(\d\d)(\d\d)(\d\d)", "20$1/$2/$3")) Local $DateOut = Execute(StringRegExpReplace($DateInISO, "20(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d)", "$aMonths[$2 - 1] & '$3$1'")) ConsoleWrite($DateOut & @LF) Edited May 26, 2017 by jchd Bags 1 This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).
