FormatDateTime
Function

Rich formatting of a TDateTime variable into a string

SysUtils unit

1	function FormatDateTime(const Formatting : string; DateTime : TDateTime) : string;
2	function FormatDateTime (const Formatting : string; DateTime : TDateTime; const FormatSettings : TFormatSettings) : string;

Description

The FormatDateTime function provides rich formatting of a TDateTime value DateTime into a string. Formatting is defined by the Formatting string.

The Formatting string can comprise a mix of ordinary characters (that are passed unchanged to the result string), and data formatting characters. This formatting is best explained by the example code.

The following (non-Asian) formatting character strings can be used in the Formatting string:

y	= Year last 2 digits
yy	= Year last 2 digits
yyyy	= Year as 4 digits
m	= Month number no-leading 0
mm	= Month number as 2 digits
mmm	= Month using ShortDayNames (Jan)
mmmm	= Month using LongDayNames (January)
d	= Day number no-leading 0
dd	= Day number as 2 digits
ddd	= Day using ShortDayNames (Sun)
dddd	= Day using LongDayNames (Sunday)
ddddd	= Day in ShortDateFormat
dddddd	= Day in LongDateFormat

c	= Use ShortDateFormat + LongTimeFormat
h	= Hour number no-leading 0
hh	= Hour number as 2 digits
n	= Minute number no-leading 0
nn	= Minute number as 2 digits
s	= Second number no-leading 0
ss	= Second number as 2 digits
z	= Milli-sec number no-leading 0s
zzz	= Milli-sec number as 3 digits
t	= Use ShortTimeFormat
tt	= Use LongTimeFormat

am/pm	= Use after h : gives 12 hours + am/pm
a/p	= Use after h : gives 12 hours + a/p
ampm	= As a/p but TimeAMString,TimePMString
/	= Substituted by DateSeparator value
:	= Substituted by TimeSeparator value

Important : if you want to see characters such as dd in the formatted output, placing them in ” marks will stop them being interpreted as date or time elements.

In addition to this formatting, various of the above options are affected by the following variables, withe their default values :

DateSeparator	= /
TimeSeparator	= :
ShortDateFormat	= dd/mm/yyyy
LongDateFormat	= dd mmm yyyy
TimeAMString	= AM
TimePMString	= PM
ShortTimeFormat	= hh:mm
LongTimeFormat	= hh:mm:ss
ShortMonthNames	= Jan Feb …
LongMonthNames	= January, February …
ShortDayNames	= Sun, Mon …
LongDayNames	= Sunday, Monday …
TwoDigitYearCenturyWindow	= 50

Version 2 of this function is for use within threads. You furnish the FormatSettings record before invoking the call. It takes a local copy of global formatting variables that make the routine thread safe.

StrToDate Converts a date string into a TDateTime value
1 function StrToDate ( const Date : string ) : TDateTime;
2 function StrToDate ( const Date : string; const FormatSettings : TFormatSettings ) : TDateTime;

1 function StrToTime ( const Time : string ) : TDateTime;
2 function StrToTime ( const Time : string; const FormatSettings : TFormatSettings ) : TDateTime;

Code:

myTime := StrToTime(‘9PM’);

myTime := StrToTime(’21’);

The following function ConvertToDateTime also converts a date string in DDMMYYYY format to a TDateTime
An exception is thrown on an invalid format.

Code:

function ConvertToDateTime(const strDate : String): TDateTime;

var

strDay, strMonth, strYear: Word;

begin

strDay := StrToInt(Copy(strDate, 1, 2));

strMonth := StrToInt(Copy(strDate, 3, 2));

strYear := StrToInt(Copy(strDate, 5, 4));

Result := EncodeDate(strYear, strMonth, strDay);

end;

function IsValidDate(const strDate : String): Boolean;

begin

Result := True;

try

ConvertToDateTime(strDate);

except

Result := False;

end;

The default format in Australia is day/month/year, eg. ’21/6/2009′.
MyDateTime : TDateTime = StrToDate(’21/6/2009′);
To change the date format from ‘6-21-2009′ to ’21/6/2009’:

Code:

strInstallationDate := ‘6-21-2009’;

DateSeparator := ‘-‘;

ShortDateFormat := ‘d-m-yyyy’;

try

MyDateTime := StrToDate(strInstallationDate);

result := InstallationDate;

except

bValidDate := false;

end;
