Date Reformatting function
Hi ,

I am trying to create a function with below requirements

1. It will take two parameters as Input. Date and Date format
2. Output will be in YYYYMMDD format.

Example 1:
Code:
Input: fn_date_reformatter('01-AUG-2014','DD-MON-YYYY')
Output: 20140801

Example 2:
Code:
Input: fn_date_reformatter('01-08-2014','DD-MM-YYYY')
Output: 20140801

Example 3:
Code:
Input: fn_date_reformatter('01082014','DDMMYYYY')
Output: 20140801


Example 4:
Code:
Input: fn_date_reformatter('20140801','YYYYMMDD')
Output: 20140801

Example 5:
Code:
Input: fn_date_reformatter('2014-08-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
Output: 20140801

Can someone please help me or guide me to the right direction?
