Coldfusion Date without slash

132 views Asked by At

I'm trying to enter dates without slashes, for example 09092013. Is there a quick and easy way to convert those strings into date objects? ParseDateTime() didn't like it.

You mean other than using left() to get the first two, mid() the second two, and right() the last four, then using those as inputs into createDate()? how much quicker and easier are you wanting to get?

You could use Java

formatter = CreateObject("java", "java.text.SimpleDateFormat").init('MMDDYYYY)';
formattedDate = formatter.parse(yourDate);
