May be this procedure help c1 = ToString[unasfechas]]; c2 = ToCharacterCode[c1]; c3 = Drop[c2, 2]; (*remove first 2 char*) c4 = Drop[c3, -1]; (*remove last char*) c5 = DeleteCases[c4, 44]; (*remove commas*) c6 = DeleteCases[c5, 32]; (*remove spaces*) c7 = Partition[c6, 10]; c8 = FromCharacterCode[c7]; c8 // TableForm c8//Length Bye rob -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Francisco Gutierrez [mailto:fgutiers2002 at yahoo.com] Inviato: gioved=EC 3 ottobre 2013 06:35 A: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Oggetto: small string issue Dear group: I am importing into Mathematica a big number of dates. For example: unasfechas = {11/06/1998, 21/01/2010, 12/10/2001, 20/07/2009, 02/02/2002, 02/01/2004, 19/11/2001, 14/02/2010, 26/12/2009, 20/10/1996, 09/07/2006, 01/01/1997, 30/08/1998, 15/02/2006, 13/12/2009, 25/09/2002, 29/06/2009, 02/04/2010, 22/02/2001, 01/04/2010} These dates come from Excel files, and are brought into Mathematica not as strings but as numbers. I want to transform them into strings to be able to apply functions like DateList, etc. In principle, this should be easy. This example, taken from the documentation, is simple and clear: ToString[x^2, InputForm] Which returns a workable string. However: ToString[unasfechas[[1]], InputForm] returns 11/11988 also a string but after applying an operation to what it considers the denominator. how should I proceed Thanks Francisco RSE SpA ha adottato il Modello Organizzativo ai sensi del D.Lgs.231/2001, inforza del quale l'assunzione di obbligazioni da parte della Societ=E0 avviene con firma di un procuratore, munito di idonei poteri.
