Hello there,

Has anyone been able to change the date format from 00/00/00 to 000000?

Regards,

+ Code Snippet

function getndate$()
   date$ = get date$()
   for d = 1 to len(date$)
      if mid$(date$, d) <> "/" then out$ = out$ + mid$(date$, d)
   next d
endfunction out$

Here is how I did it... But I think Zotoaster code is better. Thanks...

+ Code Snippet

date$=get date$()
day$=mid$(date$,4)+mid$(date$,5)
month$=mid$(date$,1)+mid$(date$,2)
year$=mid$(date$,7)+mid$(date$,8)

do
text 20,20 day$+month$+year$
loop
