I want to convert a date to a string, and sees that Sencha 2 has this class for the job. It has a lot of convertion, but I cant find anyone where I can customize how I want the string formatted. I want a date in 'dd-MM-yyyy'.
In java you have the SimpleDateFormat class where you give the pattern you want it formated in as parameter, I would except there was something like this in the Date class. If not, whats the best way to do this in pure javascript (no third part libraries), I know the trivial way (getFullYear(), getMonth() and such), but its error prone.
http://docs.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/api/Date-method-toDateString
have a look at http://docs-devel.sencha.com/touch/2-0/#!/api/Ext.Date
it contains a ton of the format options :)
Cheers, Oleg

I have tried everything that I can think of to get the right date format. Can anybody help with this RPA-problem in UiPath. I have used the 'get text' activity to get the folder date and after that tried to use the
Datetime.ParseExact(Str variable,"dd/MM/yyyy", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).
It gives me the error:
Assign: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
Your help is much appreciated.
edit: I have now sought help from a friend who figured it out. The error was in the string, which could not be seen, because there was an invisible character in the string that I extracted through 'get text' activity. The solution is in 2 steps:
assign another variable to the exact same date and use an if statement to find out if these two strings are equal and you will find out that they are not.
Now use a regex to capture only digits and slash/hyphen which will get rid of the invisible character.
Try to use "dd_MM_yyyy" instead of "dd/MM/yyyy".
The reason is because UiPath/VB.Net has a habit of using US date formatting even though you're using Culture Info...It's a real pain
Try this:
pDateString = "21/02/2020"
Assign a Date type variable = Date.ParseExact(pDateString,"dd/MM/yyyy",nothing)
Here we're telling the parser to use English format date...The Date type returned will be in US format but you can simply convert back to uk IF needed by using something like:
pDateString("dd/MM/yyyy")
This seem's to be a question often asked, but there doesn't seem to be an easy answer or an answer at all, so I risk a duplicate here, and ask again - I feel like having a puzzle with 4 pieces and don't manage to put them together:
I'm using a dojo date picker like this
<input data-dojo-type="dijit/form/DateTextBox"
data-dojo-props="constraints: { datePattern: 'yyyy-MM-dd'},
value: at(model, 'myDate')" />
The date picker displays the date in UI like I want, but the value that's assigned in model.myDate keeps being in ISO format - I'd need that to be in yyyy-MM-dd, too.
I know that I can use dojo.date.locale.format to post-process the value, but that would be after it is saved in model.myDate. I'd like to return the value in the correct format right away. Return value null if there's no input, return value undefined if there's no valid value, and return value in format yyyy-MM-dd when the given date is valid.
Maybe I can integrate that call to dojo.date.locale.format somehow? Something like .transform(..) or whatever is possible in dojo!?
I also read about overwriting the serialize method, but I don't see how and where to do that in here.
Any ideas or hint in the right direction? Many thanks in advance.
Hi just wondering if something like at(model, prop).transform(converterObj) helps: http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.10/dojox/mvc/at.html#data-converter
I'm using Robin Herbot's jQuery Input Masks plugin on my project.
It's very good but I need sql timestamp mask: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss I don't konw if i'm doing something wrong but it seems datetime alias shows only hours and minutes.
I've tried some changes on mask but not successful.
Thanks.
I see the question is from long ago, I also came here while trying to learn jquery.inputmask.
Remember to always include what you have done (code sample) when asking a question. Even if it is wrong/not working, it will help the one providing an answer, and others looking for answers.
In general terms, I found it somewhat helpful to read through the jquery.inputmask.xxx.extensions.js files, where xxx = date in this instance. In there you can see how more complex aliases are constructed from more basic ones (by overriding the basic ones), and you can apply the same ideas in constructing a new alias if you don't find a useful one.
Code that should work for your case:
$("#tsfield").inputmask("timestamp", {
mask: "y/1/2 h:s:s",
placeholder: "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss",
separator: "/",
alias: "datetime",
hourFormat: "24"
});
... which creates a new alias named timestamp, overriding datetime, and applies it to the input with id="tsfield".
If you have more than one input field with the same input mask on your page, I find it is better to create the new alias just once in your $(document).ready(), and then apply it by name to each field (refer to jquery.inputmask.date.extensions.js and documentation for instructions).
I've looked into NSFormatter, NSNumberFormatter, and the other formatting classes, but can't find a build into solution. I need to format phone numbers depending on the country code.
For instance, for US, I get a string such as +16313938888 which I need to format to look like +1(631)393-8888. The problem is I need to do this for all formats. Netherlands, I receive a string +31641234567 which will be +31(6)41 23 45 67 (something like that).
Hardcoding for 200+ countries is too tedious and I really don't know all the format rules. Is there something in the docs I'm overlooking or does anyone know of an open source class that manages this?
See https://github.com/rmaddy/RMPhoneFormat for an iOS specific solution.
Try this Google solution - https://github.com/me2day/libPhoneNumber-iOS
They have ports for C++, Java, Objective-C and others.
Unfortunately iOS does not have any public APIs for this. You can try to integrate libphonenumber that is a complete implementation for parsing and formatting international phone numbers. It has a C++ version so theoretically you can cross-link with it.
You definitely don't want to hard-code all of the various country formats. There are typically 3-5 formats per country. Instead, use a format database (such as a plist) and write code to format the number based on the given country code.
A good international format property list 'UIPhoneFormats.plist' can be found here: https://code.google.com/p/iphone-patch/source/browse/trunk/bgfix/UIKit.framework/PhoneFormats/UIPhoneFormats.plist?r=7
In that list, '$' allows any character, '#' must be a number, and the '(space) ', '(', ')' and '-' are inserted between numbers. Non-numeric characters typed by the user hint to the desired format.
I've shared my phone number formatter class, inspired by Ahmed Abdelkader's work, at https://github.com/lathamglobal/iOS-Phone-Number-Formatter . It is a very small, single-class international phone number formatter that uses the plist just mentioned.
You can try this:
let phoneNumber : CNPhoneNumber
let digits = phoneNumber.performSelector("digits").takeRetainedValue() as! String
It gives you directly the string, without formatting, with the phone number. However if the number is saved with international prefix, you will have it also in the resulted string.
I am writing sample code for Date conversion using VB.net.
Problem i am facing that it is prefixing and suffixing with hash(#) symbol.
ex : #2010-12-12#.
How to remove # symbol so that i can only date.
Given your comment, it sounds like this is actually probably just an issue of displaying a DateTime in the debugger. It showing you the DateTime literal form that you could use in VB. This is a bit like C# developers who are concerned about their strings having double backslashes in, when actually that's just the debugger showing escaping.
The DateTime itself doesn't really contain the hashes, and none of the normal format strings will produce hashes either. If you want to see it without the hashes, add a watch for
arrTxLifeReq(0).TransExeDate.ToString()
Does the code which is part of your real program have any problems? If so, please post details of those problems rather than just what the debugger is showing.
Just replace # with ''
for example
string dt = "#2010-12-12#";
dt = dt.Replace ("#","");
