Hi,

I have a date with the String like "20091128' and we have to check this date with current date ("20101118"). if that date is old then we need to do some rules. I've checked in google whether there any existance but there have different formats. Can anyone give me the clue to compare them.

Use string order

>>> "20091128" < "20101118"
True

This will work for all dates with 8 characters.

edit: to avoid the Y10K syndrome, choose woooee's solution :)
