No contest on the above...


I've re-read the OPs ? and _guess_ I now think he probably was meaning
retrieved from a cell and therefore already in Excel so knowing which way
the cell is formatted answers the question.

Exactly my point; - using a textual format eliminates the ambiguity!

Well, yes, but OP didn't use one so that's sorta' a moot point...my take when
reading the question initially was that he had a date string from somewhere
unspecified and was wondering if any way to determine which it might be...if
he/she ever comes back and comments maybe we'll find out what the real
question was.

Q: How did you get the underlined text?

Just use underscores; display result 'pends on the newsreader recognizing
them; T'Bird does for the most part; not all will/do.

I don't see how 2 different characters can occupy the same space and so was
expecting the 'flag' char as what we use to boldface, for example.
