Re: [Boost-users] Date-time question

Hi,
 
The boost::date does not provide directly a way to have string information
on a date.
 
You should look at the "Date Time Input/Output" chapter of the documentation
to get the function you want.
 
You have some example like this:
 
//example to customize output to be "LongWeekday LongMonthname day, year"
//                                  "%A %b %d, %Y"
date d(2005,Jun,25);
date_facet* facet(new date_facet("%A %B %d, %Y"));
std::cout.imbue(std::locale(std::cout.getloc(), facet));
std::cout << d << std::endl;
// "Saturday June 25, 2005"

Hope this will help you.

Objet : [Boost-users] Date-time question

Hi,
 
I would like to know if there is a way to get the string representation (3
chars) from a boost::gregorian::date, e.g. 10/03/2006 returns "Fri". 
This is a pretty fundamental functionality but I could not find anything in
the documentation. I probably missed something. 
 
Could anyone help?
 
Thanks

Kind regards
