Getting Day of Week

[James]

Is there a built in ASP function for getting the day of the week?
Ultimately I'm trying to come up with the output:

Thursday, September 23, 2004.

Re: Getting Day of Week

There are no such functions in ASP, since ASP is not a language. Are you
using VBScript? Have you looked at VBScript's DATEPART() and DATENAME()
functions?

Yup, sure am using VBScript. Sorry for asking for a function in ASP...what
a fool I've made of myself. Anyway, I've been able to create a solution
using DatePart, but it seems far longer than it needs to be. Never heard of
the DateName() function in VBScript, only in SQL...but I'll look into that.

Re: Getting Day of Week

Sorry, my bad. Look at the WeekdayName() and Weekday() functions.
