perldoc Date::Manip is a start

Do not know if it will translate

TableBorderProblem2.zip

you can try something of Date::Manip package

&Date_Init("Language=German","DateFormat=non-US");

and then perform the normal operations

Switch to using perl for your PTs - you'll find it much easier (after the initial learning curve perhaps) to manipulate the data you're retrieving from your DCRs.

If need be - break out into perl within your XML style PT with something like:...
<iw_perl>
my @dateval = split('/', iwpt_dcr_value('newsitem2.date'));
my $mon = get_locale_month($dateval[0]);
iwpt_output(join(q{ }, @dateval[1,0,2]));
</iw_perl>
...Where you define and use your own subroutine (here called get_locale_month)

(note: your posted example translated 6/29/2005 to 6 Juni 2005 instead of 29 Juni 2005)

No - I didn't write any such routine - I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that you had already created such a routine.
It's trivial to do if you already have the month names - otherwise - Data&colon;:Manip is probably a reasonable way to go.
In either case - you need to write code - if you're not comfortable doing so - you either need to "get" comfortable - or bring someone else in to do it for you.

We ended up using Java, as the Perl date manipulation module did not handle double byte languages very well, calling the Java class directly from the PT inside of a <iw-perl> block.

Hi here is my sub

<iw_perl>
<![CDATA[
sub processDate
{
my ($d, $m, $y) = split('\/', $_[0];
$y = $y+2000;
$d =~ s/^0//; # strip leading zero
# german months hash

$mn{'01'} = "Januar";
$mn{'02'} = "Februar";
$mn{'03'} = "März";
$mn{'04'} = "April";
$mn{'05'} = "Mai";
$mn{'06'} = "Juni";
$mn{'07'} = "Juli";
$mn{'08'} = "August";
$mn{'09'} = "September";
$mn{'10'} = "Oktober";
$mn{'11'} = "November";
$mn{'12'} = "Dezember";

my $out = $d." $mn{$m} ".$y;
return($out);
}
]]>
</iw_perl>

how can I use tthat with ur code?

<iw_perl>
my @dateval = split('/', iwpt_dcr_value('newsitem2.date'));
my $mon = processDate($dateval[0]);
iwpt_output(join(q{ }, @dateval[1,0,2]));
</iw_perl>

Adam Stoller

My bad - It should have been:<iw_perl>
my @dateval = split('/', iwpt_dcr_value('newsitem2.date'));
my $dateval[0] = processDate($dateval[0]);
iwpt_output(join(q{ }, @dateval[1,0,2]));
</iw_perl>
