I'm just learining this, but here's how you do it with Python (pasted in from an interactive session)... so maybe some expert can show you how to for this into DTML:

...

...

import string date="01/02/2001" datelist=[] for de in string.split(date,"/"): ... datelist.append(repr(int(de))) ... print string.join(datelist,"/") 1/2/2001

This strips out any leading zeros.

Hello,

I'm sorry to ask such a basic DTML question...I just haven't been able to get this to work..

I'm hoping to use the Python slicing format to extract the various parts of a "pCommon" or aCommon" format date (the output from an SQL query) so that I can use them individually..

What is the syntax to get the string value of this non-strftime format date object, so that I can put it into a string variable for slicing?

Thank you, Chris
