Can't convert windows date format into dd/mm/yyyy
Comment

To convert a Windows date format into the dd/mm/yyyy format, you need to parse the date string and then format it accordingly. The Windows date format is typically in the format "MM/dd/yyyy" (e.g., "07/23/2023" for July 23, 2023).
You can use Python's datetime
module to achieve this conversion. Here's a step-by-step guide:
pythonfrom datetime import datetime
# Input Windows date format
windows_date = "07/23/2023"
# Parse the date using the Windows format
parsed_date = datetime.strptime(windows_date, "%m/%d/%Y")
# Format the date as dd/mm/yyyy
formatted_date = parsed_date.strftime("%d/%m/%Y")
print(formatted_date) # Output: 23/07/2023
In the code above, we use datetime.strptime()
to parse the Windows date string into a Python datetime
object. The %m/%d/%Y
format specifier corresponds to the Windows date format. Then, we use strftime()
to format the datetime
object into the desired dd/mm/yyyy format.
Now, formatted_date
will contain the date in the dd/mm/yyyy format.
