Hi,
is there a chance to get only the "month" out of a date field ?
Example: "21.10.2008" should be converted to "10" .
Kind Regards
Holger

Hi try67,
can you please tell me, where the script must be placed?
The example date "21.10.2008" is imported in the textfield; there were also 150 other imported datefields.
Kind Regards
Holger

You can use that script in the custom calculaiton script.
For more flexible programing you might change the date string into a JavaScript date time object and then you get different display formats and calculation vaues from that object.

var a = "21.10.2008"; // date string format is "dd.mm.yyyy"// convert date string into date objectvar oDate = util.scand("dd.mm.yyyy", a);// display various month formatsconsole.show();console.clear();// get month from date object with zero based month valuevar sMonth = oDate.getMonth() + 1;console.println("Month number: " + sMonth);// get month from date objce with util.printd() method in various displays// month numbersMonth = util.printd("mm", oDate);console.println("Month number: " + sMonth);// short month textsMonth = util.printd("mmm", oDate);// long month textconsole.println("Short month: " + sMonth);sMonth = util.printd("mmmm", oDate);console.println("Long month: " + sMonth);

Hi gkaiserli,
thanks for your prompt answer. After using this script in the custom calculation section the result is always perfect (the console opens with the "month-options").
Is there a chance that the script should automaticly detect the right month (there are about 200 students with different birthdays ...) and put the selected month description ("10" or "09" or "02") into another textfield of my acrobat form?
Kind Regards

Here's one:
a="21.10.2008";
myMonth = a.split(".")[1];
