SL, you specifically asked for a script that could convert a month/day/year formatted string to a formatted string. In fact, is a very good way to write dates (and is used by the military) because, while it may be possible that I might not remember what day it is, I nearly always remember what month it is. In fact, many countries write the date in that format. Writing a date as is not just a German thing.

I need a Windows PowerShell script that will translate the date from the way we write it in the United States to the way they write the date in Germany. This is causing major confusion in our office, and I do not think it is fair to just tell our German colleagues to write the date the way we do in the United States.

Therefore, my German colleagues would write today’s date as 24.8.11 or. They also use a period for the separator instead of the forward slash. In Germany, however, they seem to write it day, then month, and then year. We always list the month, then the day, and then the year.

The problem is that in the United States, as you are well aware, we write the date like this: 8/24/11. We are a large company and we have operations both in the United States and in Germany. Although I am sure you hear this a lot, this problem is causing me a major problem at work. Summary: Microsoft Scripting Guy Ed Wilson discusses four different techniques for using Windows PowerShell to convert date formats.
