Hi, I'm trying to create an iOS 15 shortcut that allows me to enter a date in text format, i.e., 06/15/1990 that will display the date with the day of the week, i.e, Friday, June 15, 1990.
I'm stuck because I can't figure out how to convert text to a date. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Lance
iPhone XS, iOS 15
Probably easier to use some code to do this, but...
Input was 1/1/1990
The slashes format (1/1/1990) is an ambiguous format. The US somewhat unexpectedly goes with MM / DD / YYYY, while many other places will use DD / MM / YYYY.
