[Leeds, Mark]

I have another date question :

Now I have dates that are of the form

2/14/1980 so
I tried to read them in using

Temptime = time.strptime(filedate,"%m" + "//" + "%d" + "//" + "%Y") But
I get some weird error like format mismatch.

Could it be because the date is 2/14 instead of 02/14 ?

This will be my last question about dates.

Python has a time module with strptime (parse) and strftime (format)
functions.

>>> import time
>>> t = time.strptime("26Nov2002", "%d%b%Y")
>>> t
(2002, 11, 26, 0, 0, 0, 1, 330, -1)
>>> time.strftime("%Y%m%d", t)
'20021126'
