Re: Parsing day out of date format 10/12/00

2003-02-12 14:29:17



<BirthMonth><xsl:value-of select="substring(.,1,2)"/></BirthMonth>
<BirthDay><xsl:value-of select="substring(.,3,2)"/></BirthDay>
<BirthYear><xsl:value-of select="substring(.,5,2)"/></BirthYear>

How would I go about parsing so> me xml like this:

<BirthDate>10/12/00</BirthDate>

If you can't rely on on two digits in each field (y2k bugs hit 2 digit
year fields you know:-) then use substring-after and substring-before to
split on / instead of using substring. Of course in most places 
10/12/(20)00 would parse as 10th December rather than 12th October
so it was good you showed the desired output..
