I have 6-digit Julian dates from DB table, and I am trying to convert them to std date. I get error as the format is not correct. fmt = '%y%m%j'
This is the function I have written:
import datetime
def jdtodatestd (jdate):
fmt = '%y%m%j'
datestd = datetime.datetime.strptime(jdate, fmt).date()
return(datestd)
x = jdtodatestd('122105')
print(x)
In above Julian date "122105":
1 is Century code
22 is Year
105 is 105th day of the year.
I am getting 2012-04-14
as result, but the expected result is 2022-04-15
.
CodePudding user response:
Insert jdate = jdate[1:]
into your Python function and change format to %y%j
import datetime
def jdtodatestd (jdate):
jdate = jdate[1:]
fmt = '%y%j'
datestd = datetime.datetime.strptime(jdate, fmt).date()
return(datestd)
x = jdtodatestd('122105')
print(x)
# 2022-04-15
