RE: day-of-week algorithm

I guess as part of that, I’ll be wanting to convert yyyy-mm-dd into a table, like:

Year=yyyy

Month=mm

Day=dd

Is there a generic “split string into table with delimiter” method?

Subject: day-of-week algorithm

My API delivers dates in the form yyyy-mm-dd but my design team wants DDD dd (i.e. Tue 14).

Can anyone point me at a reliable algorithm for calculating day-of-week from a standard datestamp?
