You can figure out the specific separator in the date
Create a date (as you do) , get a short date and remove all numerics
What's left is the separators
Not sure if a static is the best as a person could change the date
separators while the program is running and this would miss that but
otherwise this seems to work pretty well even when I change my date
format to mm;yy;dd
I have a couple small changes I made if you're interested
