Help

Hi guys,

How would you convert for example September 5, 2015 to 20150905.

(September 5, 2015 is a string rather than a date format right now)

Appreciate your help!

Create a DateTime variable, mine is called dt.

Assign
dt = DateTime.Parse(“September 15, 2015”)

Log
dt.ToString(yyyyMMdd)

Hi @ianhyj,

As you told september 5, 2015 is a string variable, you can use the below expression in write line or in assign statement.

Datetime.ParseExact(“September 5, 2015”,“MMMM d, yyyy”,system.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString(“yyyyMMdd”)

The output of the above expression is a string, if you want to convert it to datetime you can do it by surrounding it by convert.todatetime(The whole above expression)
