Re: Converting date formats

Hi, Doug:

  The easiest way to do this is use substring(),
example:

<xsl:variable name="date" select="20010607"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($date, 7, 2)"/>
<xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($date, 5, 2)"/>
<xsl:text>/</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($date, 1, 4)"/>

Hope this helps,
Xiaocun
