Hi Team,

I have a simple date picker. <input type=“date” id=“date” name’“datepicker”>

  1. If i choose tomorrow/future date it should display a message box that is a future date.
  2. Currently displaying as 01/01/2021 want in format like 01/Jan/2021
    need a sample code

Hi @Balan,

Considering your second point, if you want 01/01/2021 the date to look like this → 01/Jan/2021
what you can do suppose if a varaiable say Var has the value → 01/01/2021
then, you can write something like

Datetime.ParseExact(Var, “dd/MM/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MMM/yyyy”)

Try This.

Hi @Balan

Take one assign CurrentDate =Datetime.ParseExact(Var, “dd/MM/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MMM/yyyy”) you will get Today date.

Take IF condition,

if(CurrentDate<Datepicker Variable)
{
Messagebox/WriteLine(“Future Date”)

}

Thanks

Currently i have extracted

  1. Todays date
  2. Picked the date from the date picker

Format what i am getting is different hence i am unable to compare and find which date is greater. For instance todays date format is (MM/dd/yyyy) and date what i picked from date picker is in (2021-01-14). All happening inside the html file. CurrentDate =Datetime.ParseExact(Var, “dd/MM/yyyy”,System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“dd/MMM/yyyy”) you will get Today date.
Will this line of code work inside html page ?
Suggest how to proceed. Based on these 2 format IF condition not working correctly.

12-Jan-2021 - how to convert to this format

My date picker code is inside a html page. Do u mean to say that once i choose a date in date picker i need to invoke this xaml from html page? If so how to do that ?

15

Can you please share screenshot of html page,

Once you have chosen the date, take Get text activity and read that date and use the conversion provided in xmal,

Thanks

Yes i can understand that gettext and ur code provided. My question is its a pure Html file
how to use gettext inside html file ? I am new to this. Ex my code
input type=“date” id=“ScanDate” name=“ScanDate” value=“Submit”>
In the above code we get the date picker
image
In the sample pic its 01/12/2021 instead it should set as 01-Dec-2021.
