date conversion

  • 772

I have this date format:

Thu Apr 18, 2019  12:44 pm

I am reading this information from a file... When it finds the first word in this case Thu, it enters if, and I start collecting the information at the end I have a variable tacTimewhere I combine the variables, leaving as a result

18 Apr 2019

-- Is there some type of conversion that in the end obtains the date in this way:

04/18/2018 (mes/dia/año)

--

if (arreglo[0] == "Thu")
    {

    string m = arreglo[1].Substring(0, 3);
    string month = m;

    string d = arreglo[2].Substring(0, 2);
    string day = d;

    string y = arreglo[3].Substring(0, 4);
    string year = y;

    tacTime = day + " " + month + " " + year;
}
c#

    You can do it by applying the direct format with the functiontoString

    Example:

    string dateInput="Thu Apr 18, 2019  12:44 pm";
DateTime fecha = DateTime.Parse(dateInput);
var fechaCorta = fecha.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");

    another serious option

    DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Parse("Thu Apr 18, 2019  12:44 pm", new CultureInfo("de-DE"),DateTimeStyles.NoCurrentDateDefault);

  2. In this case, as Juan Carlos has put in his answer, you can simply use it DateTime.Parseto parse your date string to a DateTime.

    I add another option where you can define exactly the format of your date string to parse it to DateTimein case it Parsedoesn't correctly detect the date from the string.

    To do this, you must either use DateTime.ParseExact or DateTime.TryParseExact using the date formats explained in Custom date and time format strings .

    In your case, it would be something like this:

    string dateInput="Thu Apr 18, 2019  12:44 pm";
DateTime fecha = DateTime.ParseExact(fechaaaaa, "ddd MMM dd, yyyy  hh:mm tt", new CultureInfo("en-EN"));

    And later, if you want a string with another format, as they tell you in the other answer, you can use it ToStringwith a custom string:

    var fechaCorta = fecha.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy");
