date format

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm developing a pro*C code.
I need to check if a particular date lies between 2 other dates...all these 3 dates are selected from the database.
Strcmp doesn't work out as the dates are in 'dd-mon-yy'('19-APR-01') format.

Can anyone help me out before I spend the rest of my day on it?

Thanks in advance,
Madhuri.

Strip month, day, year from the string (e.g., using substr and intval)... then feed the m/d/y components into:

int juliantojd (int month, int day, int year)

this returns a value (number of days since antiquity I guess)... that value can be compared to others even for substraction purposes.
