Question

I am have a string named begin_date which contain date in the format dd.mm.yyyy e.g

11.04.2012

from that I am trying to create a Coldfusion Date like

<input type="hidden" name="begin_date" value="#CreateDate(ListLast(begin_date,'.'),ListGetAt(begin_date,2,'.'),ListFirst(begin_date,'.'))#" />

but I am getting the following error message

The value undefined cannot be converted to a number

Answer 1

The CreateDate function requires 3 parameters as follows:

CreateDate( year, month, day )

Try the following:

CreateDate( 
  ListGetAt( begin_date, 3, "." ), 
  ListGetAt( begin_date, 2, "." ), 
  ListGetAt( begin_date, 1, "." )
)
