Hello everyone

I have a date code and I don't know what date code method is being used, but basically, [dddd, MMMM Do YYYY] yields [Sunday, December 10th 2023]. I need the code for [Sunday 10 December 2023]. Does anyone have a URL for this one?

Thanks
Samuel

Could be JS... Dec 19, 2023

This seems to be consistent with JS code, here:

More info Dec 19, 2023

Samuel, not quite clear what you're trying to achieve here. Do you mean you need a formatting string to take a date and return a version in the format of "Sunday, December 10th 2023"? And is this for use within a CAT tool, some actual code, or some kind of utility...? The page to which you link is very specific - some kind of date-handling library.

Try this ... ? Dec 19, 2023

As Dan points out, it would help enormously to know what 'language' we're dealing with.

That said, if [dddd, MMMM Do YYYY] yields [Sunday, December 10th 2023], then we can deduce with a fair degree of confidence, that dddd represents the full name of the day of the week ('Sunday', as opposed to 'Sun.'), MMMM represents the long name of the month (December), D followed by o is the day number (with no leading zero, otherwise it would probably ...

As Dan points out, it would help enormously to know what 'language' we're dealing with.

That said, if [dddd, MMMM Do YYYY] yields [Sunday, December 10th 2023], then we can deduce with a fair degree of confidence, that dddd represents the full name of the day of the week ('Sunday', as opposed to 'Sun.'), MMMM represents the long name of the month (December), D followed by o is the day number (with no leading zero, otherwise it would probably be DD) and the suffixed o refers to the 'ordinal' number (10th) as distinct from the cardinal number (10), and YYYY is the four-digit year.

If you want the cardinal day number '10' instead of the ordinal number '10th', I suggest it may well be either D (with no suffix), or maybe Dc. The punctuation is fed through 'as is' to the resulting date string.

On the basis of my reasoning above, I'd wager a chocolate digestive biscuit on:
[Sunday 10 December 2023] --> [dddd D MMMM YYYY]
