Have a look at #yyyymmdd
And the test:
testPrinting
self assert: date mmddyyyy = '6/2/1973'; assert: date yyyymmdd = '1973-06-02'; assert: (date printFormat: #(3 1 2 $! 2 1 1)) = '1973!2!Jun'.

Hello,
I'd like to see how to control the formatting and storage of dates. I'm in the UK so would like to store my dates in yyyy-mm-dd format, but display them as dd-mm-yyyy; or as '12 December 2006' sometimes as well. I've looked at the Date class, but apart from the printFormat: method (which I can't see an explanation of the format) I can't see any easy way of ensuring that squeak converts my dd-mm-yyyy input into a nice ISO yyyy-mm-dd format.
Could anyone suggest some classes/code to look at?
Thanks very much, Kel.
