I have a date string (ie dd/mm/yy) which I'm drawing out of a database =
(ODBC connection to Access) with a Z SQL method and I need to use that =
data to set the initial condition of a set of 3 select items (ie day, =
month and year).  Is there a way to split this date (it'll come out =
looking like dd/mm/yy) to get the components of it so that I can do:=20

<select name=3D"start_month">
<dtml-in "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12">
<dtml-if "some_split_of_date_string_to_get_month(start_date) =3D=3D =
_['sequence-item']">
<option value=3D"<dtml-var sequence-item>" selected><dtml-var =
sequence-item></option>
<dtml-else>
<option value=3D"<dtml-var sequence-item>"><dtml-var =
sequence-item></option>
</dtml-if>
</dtml-in>
</select>

??



Thanks!
