I know there are easy ways to handle this,
anyone with a code snippet for me?

I would use two regex first to make 01,02,03... from Jan,Feb,.. and
second to split the result.

best regards mt.

I found this solution, letting the MySQL engine do the work:

  SELECT STR_TO_DATE('26/Apr/2011:13:21:58', '%d/%b/%Y:%H:%i:%S');

Maybe  there is an other short solution using the std.datetime and or
