How to format RSS pubDate to DateTime?

Is it possible to format DateTime in VIM under windows without leading zeroes on Month, Day, and Hour?

• Does anyone know if there's a way to format the date  generated by strftime in Vim (under MS Windows) such that Month, Day,  and Hour are not padded to two digits with a leading zero?  For example, the following commands in vimrc:      nmap <F3> a<C-R>=strftime("%I:%M %p %m/%d/%Y ")<CR><Esc> imap <F3> <C-R>=strftime("%I:%M %p %m/%d/%Y ")<CR>   will print       03:32 AM 07/09/2010   into the file, if it was actually July 9th.   I'd like to know if there's a format string that will print      3:32 AM 7/9/2010   for vim instead. I know strftime is platform-specific, so I'm looking  for a Windows-specific solution, without the use of external tools. I'd  also appreciate comments to the effect that this is impossible with  those constraints.   Thanks.

• Answer:

  Replacing "%m" etc with "%#m" will remove the leading zeroes.  So, your string redone as nmap <F3> a<C-R>=strftime("%#I:%M %p %#m/%#d/%Y ")<CR><Esc> gives me: 5:26 PM 1/8/2012 That works in Windows; I don't know if it's specific to Windows, or if there's another method on other platforms. Here's a page listing the format codes for Windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fe06s4ak%28VS.71%29.aspx
