Hi:

Thanks, works perfectly, after modifying to  Widestring variants.

Regards

Sean.

Hi:

I’ve found this. There appears to be no format flags, that give me both a two digit month, i.e 22 and four digit year i.e 2009.

Have I missed something.

Sean.

you can do something like this.

boost::date_time::date d ;
std::istringstream is ;
is.imbue(std::locale (std::cout.getloc(), new boost::date_time::date_input_facet ("%d %B %Y"))
is.str("22 July 2009");
is >> d ;

Format flags are documented at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/doc/html/date_time/date_time_io.html#date_time.format_flags
