Convert a string (diffrent formats) to date

May 23 2006 2:52 AM

Hi

I got diffrent date formats from a database and I would like to convert the to a date. I don't have the option to work with the sql, since that query is fixed (long story)

"20051231","2005-12-31","2005-12-31 09:29:52" ==> "2005/12/31".

My first tought was to trim the string and remove "/" and " ", after that only read the first 6 char of the string and as the final step chope the string up in "2005","12","31". There after build  upp "2005/12/31".

It seems to by much work and not so easy either as I tought.

Does anyone have any advice in thos matter.
