I don't need to store the date i just want to make sure is entered correctly. I would like to have the user type the date like 21 02 2013 and then convert it to 2013-02-21 because thats how mysql wants the date in order to store it. Please show me how to write this. Also, can you show me how to write it that if so even if the user entered date is wrong it doesn't just crash the cgi-script?i know i can use tr: expect: but i want to avoid it, somehow i need to check the date in the same if statemnt like i do with the other user defined varibles for validity. if( task and ( price and price.isdigit() and price.__len__() <= 3 ) and ( date and datetime.strptime(date, '%Y-%m-%d') ) ): Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
