And yes, I know there are much easier ways to get the month digit with
a list or dictionairy, but I wanted to be very basic in case any newbies
were interested.
def GetMonth(str):
months = ['JAN', 'FEB', 'MAR', 'APR', 'MAY', 'JUN', 'JUL',
'AUG', 'SEP', 'OCT', 'NOV', 'DEC']
return months.index(string.upper(str) )+1
or just load up a dictionary and pull the value.
That's what I love about python, so many ways to do the same
thing!!!
