Question:

I want the date to display like:

	10/29/99

Is there a Winbatch function to do that?

Answer:

Here's some simple code to do it:

now=TimeYmdHms()

year  = ItemExtract(1,now,":") mod 100
month = ItemExtract(2,now,":")
day   = ItemExtract(3,now,":")

;Some days and months may only have one digit.  
;To make sure they have two digits:
If StrLen(year) == 1 then year ="0%year%"
If StrLen(month) == 1 then month="0%month%"
If StrLen(day) == 1 then day= "0%day%"

thedate = Strcat(month,"/",day,"/",year)
message("New date format", thedate)
