timestamp conversion

[mrbean]

In the attached LV2009 snippet, I use the "%d%b%Y %H:%M" to format the TimeStamp into a date/time that looks like this:  03/Dec/2009 10:33.  Now what I want to do is receive a string (in that same format) and stuff it back into a TimeStamp.  How can I do this?

That's not the format your VI creates. In fact, your strings look like: "txtHDate1=22Oct2009 06:45". Is the text "txtHDate1=" part of the input string? I also don't see any slashes.

My first example work witht the format that you are actually generating the second work with what you said you were generating.
