How can I compare 2 format of date?

[korenron]

Hello,
I'm reading data from a device - and he return to me this format

1	dec/21/2021

and on the prpgram I'm using this format:

1	2021-12-21 11:22:09,239

this is what I have done:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

prtint(Device_TS)  JustDate = str(StartTime).split(' ')[0]             JustDate = datetime.datetime.strptime(JustDate, '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%M/%d/%y')             print('Just Date  ', JustDate)             if JustDate not in TS1:                 print('Clock Error!')             else:                 print('Clock OK!')

but the cut date is :

1 2 3

dec/21/2021 11:39:57 Just Date   00/21/21 Clock Error!

what is wrong?

Thanks ,

Could you send an error that we can reproduce? Your code doesn't look like real code.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

import datetime StartTime = datetime.datetime.now() print(StartTime) JustDate = str(StartTime).split(' ')[0] print(JustDate) JustDate = datetime.datetime.strptime(JustDate, '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%M/%d/%y') print('Just Date  ', JustDate) TS1 = "dec/21/2021" print(TS1) if JustDate not in TS1:     print('Clock Error!') else:     print('Clock OK!')

this is the output:

1 2 3 4 5

2021-12-21 14:01:29.733448 2021-12-21 Just Date   00/21/21 dec/21/2021 Clock Error!

what am I missing?
isn't 'M' stand for month in "words"?

[Gribouillis]

No, %M stands for Minutes. Month as locale abbreviated name is %b. Read https://docs.python.org/3/library/dateti...e-behavior

[korenron]

I remeber %M for some reason ...

Thanks !
