it it possible to abstract this time 03.08.2004 14:01:22 from
04.08.2004 17:44:53. And get a conclusion like hour:min format
in ASP

No, however is is possible in VBScript (probably what you meant)
Use the TimeValue function:

TimeValue("date string Value")

The time argument is usually a string expression representing a time from 0:00:00 (12:00:00 A.M.) to 23:59:59 (11:59:59 P.M.), inclusive. However, time can also be any expression that represents a time in that range. If time contains Null, Null is returned.

EG
Dim result
result = TimeValue("03/08/2004 14:01:22")
response.write "The time is: " & result

Thanks for your answer but

i want to abstract this time 03.08.2004 14:01:22 from
04.08.2004 17:44:53. And get conclusion like this 27hour.25minute format
in ASP

do you mean the difference between the dates?

Go to Google and search for the dateDiff and datePart functions if this is the case.

i want to subtract this time 03.08.2004 14:01:22 from
04.08.2004 17:44:53. And obtain this format 27h.25
in ASP

The dateDiff functionis what you need

Returns the number of intervals between two dates.

DateDiff(interval, date1, date2 [,firstdayofweek[, firstweekofyear]])

Arguments
interval (you want to put 'h' for hour)
Required. String expression that is the interval you want to use to calculate the differences between date1 and date2.

date1, date2 (put your two dates here)
Required. Date expressions. Two dates you want to use in the calculation.

firstdayofweek
Optional. Constant that specifies the day of the week. If not specified, Sunday is assumed.

firstweekofyear
Optional. Constant that specifies the first week of the year. If not specified, the first week is assumed to be the week in which January 1 occurs.

BTW you will have use string formatting to get your 27h.25 as this can not be a date variant due to its syntax
