string - VB Script date formats "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS"

String - VB Script date formats "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS"

In VBScript, you can format the current date and time in the "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" format using various string manipulation functions. Here's one way to achieve it:

Function FormatDateTimeYYYYMMDDHHMMSS() Dim dtNow dtNow = Now Dim strFormattedDate strFormattedDate = Year(dtNow) & Right("0" & Month(dtNow), 2) & Right("0" & Day(dtNow), 2) & _ Right("0" & Hour(dtNow), 2) & Right("0" & Minute(dtNow), 2) & Right("0" & Second(dtNow), 2) FormatDateTimeYYYYMMDDHHMMSS = strFormattedDate End Function ' Test the function WScript.Echo FormatDateTimeYYYYMMDDHHMMSS()

This function (FormatDateTimeYYYYMMDDHHMMSS) retrieves the current date and time using the Now function and then formats it into the desired "YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" format using string concatenation and the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Second functions.

You can call this function whenever you need to get the current date and time in this specific format.

Examples

  1. VBScript: Format current date and time as YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

    • Description: Get the current date and time in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
    Dim formattedDateTime formattedDateTime = FormatDateTime(Now, vbYear) & FormatDateTime(Now, vbMonth) & FormatDateTime(Now, vbDay) _ & FormatDateTime(Now, vbHour) & FormatDateTime(Now, vbMinute) & FormatDateTime(Now, vbSecond) MsgBox formattedDateTime

    Explanation: This code snippet uses the FormatDateTime function with specific format constants (vbYear, vbMonth, vbDay, vbHour, vbMinute, vbSecond) to construct the date and time in the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.

  2. VBScript: Convert a given date and time to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

    • Description: Convert a given date and time to the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
    Dim givenDateTime, formattedDateTime givenDateTime = "2023-06-15 14:30:00" formattedDateTime = FormatDateTime(givenDateTime, vbYear) & FormatDateTime(givenDateTime, vbMonth) _ & FormatDateTime(givenDateTime, vbDay) & FormatDateTime(givenDateTime, vbHour) _ & FormatDateTime(givenDateTime, vbMinute) & FormatDateTime(givenDateTime, vbSecond) MsgBox formattedDateTime

    Explanation: This code snippet converts the givenDateTime to the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS using FormatDateTime function.

  3. VBScript: Extract YYYYMMDDHHMMSS from a file or folder name

    • Description: Extract the date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format from a file or folder name.
    Dim fileName, dateTimePart fileName = "file_20230615143000.txt" dateTimePart = Mid(fileName, Len(fileName) - 15, 14) MsgBox dateTimePart

    Explanation: This code snippet uses the Mid function to extract the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS part from a file name assuming a specific format.

  4. VBScript: Validate if a string is in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format

    • Description: Check if a given string adheres to the format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
    Function IsValidDateTime(dateTime) If Len(dateTime) = 14 Then If IsNumeric(dateTime) Then IsValidDateTime = True Else IsValidDateTime = False End If Else IsValidDateTime = False End If End Function ' Usage Dim testDateTime testDateTime = "20230615143000" MsgBox IsValidDateTime(testDateTime)

    Explanation: This function checks if the dateTime string is exactly 14 characters long and consists only of numeric digits.

  5. VBScript: Parse YYYYMMDDHHMMSS into separate date and time components

    • Description: Parse a string in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format into separate date and time components.
    Dim dateTimeString, year, month, day, hour, minute, second dateTimeString = "20230615143000" year = Left(dateTimeString, 4) month = Mid(dateTimeString, 5, 2) day = Mid(dateTimeString, 7, 2) hour = Mid(dateTimeString, 9, 2) minute = Mid(dateTimeString, 11, 2) second = Mid(dateTimeString, 13, 2) MsgBox "Year: " & year & ", Month: " & month & ", Day: " & day & ", Hour: " & hour & ", Minute: " & minute & ", Second: " & second

    Explanation: This code snippet uses various Left and Mid functions to extract individual components (year, month, day, hour, minute, second) from the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format.

  6. VBScript: Convert YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to a readable date and time format

    • Description: Convert a string in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format to a more readable date and time format.
    Dim dateTimeString, formattedDateTime dateTimeString = "20230615143000" formattedDateTime = Left(dateTimeString, 4) & "-" & Mid(dateTimeString, 5, 2) & "-" & Mid(dateTimeString, 7, 2) _ & " " & Mid(dateTimeString, 9, 2) & ":" & Mid(dateTimeString, 11, 2) & ":" & Mid(dateTimeString, 13, 2) MsgBox formattedDateTime

    Explanation: This code snippet constructs a more readable date and time string from the YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format.

  7. VBScript: Generate current date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format

    • Description: Generate the current date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format.
    Dim currentDateTime, formattedDateTime currentDateTime = Now formattedDateTime = Year(currentDateTime) & Right("0" & Month(currentDateTime), 2) & Right("0" & Day(currentDateTime), 2) _ & Right("0" & Hour(currentDateTime), 2) & Right("0" & Minute(currentDateTime), 2) & Right("0" & Second(currentDateTime), 2) MsgBox formattedDateTime

    Explanation: This code snippet uses Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Second functions to construct the current date and time in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format.

  8. VBScript: Format date and time from a database query to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

    • Description: Format a date and time retrieved from a database query to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format.
    Dim dbDateTime, formattedDateTime dbDateTime = "2023-06-15 14:30:00" formattedDateTime = Year(dbDateTime) & Right("0" & Month(dbDateTime), 2) & Right("0" & Day(dbDateTime), 2) _ & Right("0" & Hour(dbDateTime), 2) & Right("0" & Minute(dbDateTime), 2) & Right("0" & Second(dbDateTime), 2) MsgBox formattedDateTime

    Explanation: This code snippet formats a date and time retrieved from a database (assuming dbDateTime is a valid date object) to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format.

  9. VBScript: Convert YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to a timestamp

    • Description: Convert a string in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format to a timestamp or date object.
    Dim dateTimeString, timestamp dateTimeString = "20230615143000" timestamp = CDate(Left(dateTimeString, 4) & "-" & Mid(dateTimeString, 5, 2) & "-" & Mid(dateTimeString, 7, 2) _ & " " & Mid(dateTimeString, 9, 2) & ":" & Mid(dateTimeString, 11, 2) & ":" & Mid(dateTimeString, 13, 2)) MsgBox timestamp

    Explanation: This code snippet uses CDate function to convert a string in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format to a timestamp.
