Thread: Explode a string?

I am needing to explode a string... Well, actually its a date time stamp.

I have dates and times in the database

example: 02/05/2009 10:43 AM

I am wanting to get a hold of the '05' part of the date so I can change it into the month name (I am in the UK so its dd/mm/yyyy).

Does anyone know how to do it?

there are many ways to do this.

#month(timestamp)#

#dateformat(timestamp,"mmmm")#
That one will give you the month name

You can also use the DatePart() function, but I can't remember the syntax off-hand. If you go onto Adobe's ColdFusion Livedocs and lookup Date Functions there are quite a few.
