in reply to How do I drop leading zeros from a date like 07/04/2001 to read 7/4/2001??

Is that date April 7, 2001 or July 4, 2001?

If your code will ever be dealt with by an international audience, I strongly recommend either making date formats customizable, or else switching to something that everyone can understand, like 2001-07-04.
