Modifying a date format

[rob101]

Is this the kind of thing you're looking for?

date_list = ['D4', '7', '2004\n']  # a data sample

for index, item in enumerate(date_list):
    if index == 0:
        month = item.lstrip("D")
        month = "D" + str(f"{int(month):02d}")
    elif index == 1:
        day = str(f"{int(item):02d}")
    else:
        year = item.rstrip("\n")

date = f"{month}/{day}/{year}"
print(date)

Output:
D04/07/2004
