Hi All,
Does somebody kown the algorithm to convert a date from the double
format to an explicit format?
Example: the function "now" givers me: 3.825956615197917E+004
I want to transform it in: year-month-day....
Why not use DateToStr() or FormatDateTime() from sysutils ?
Michael.

Or, if you need the values for some sort of calculation, you have to
- find out the reference date, i. e. DateToStr(0) - and the scale, (I think 1.0 = 1 day) - consider the month lengths, with february changing in leap years - for historic dates, consider calendar switches
There's a conversion function somewhere on my hard disk. If I find it, I'll post it later.
Or you might scan the strings created by DateToStr. That'd be quick-n-dirty, though :-)
Anton.
