Question

I have a DateTime value pulled from a field in an MSSQL database I want to split this and remove all delimiters so that I have just a string of the date.

So: 2012-11-06 14:36:20.810
Becomes: 20121106143620810

Ideally, I don’t want the milliseconds either……

So: 2012-11-06 14:36:20.810
Becomes: 20121106143620

I am using Classic ASP for this application.

Any ideas?

Quick and dirty:

dateFromDB = "2012-11-06 14:36:20.810"
formatedDate = Replace(dateFromDB, "-","")
formatedDate = Replace(formatedDate, ":","")
formatedDate = Replace(formatedDate, " ","")
formatedDate = Left(formatedDate, Len(formatedDate)-4)

Of course you can optimize it in various ways, but this will get the job done
