For part 1 see attached file. It's most likely not the best solution though. 

For part 2 I suspect you'll need a script that also takes into account leap years.

For the first question. I don't even know what a Julian date calendar is, so that's all from me.M.

Maybe Geco has some dates components, though I don't have it installed at the moment. 

Nicely done Marios.

Ty, 

I am always too lazy and try to use less components.

Can i replace a Branch number by text, or string? 

I mean, part 1 works for me, but I need now to change the branches to string/text (i.e date) 

for instance, what you have in your picture: 66 to March 7, 96 to April 06...

thx !

No, you can't do that. the GH_path class can only take an Integer as an argument.

There's a built-in class in DotNet that handles date time functions. I'm pretty sure David is implementing native date + time components for the next release of GH, but in the meantime, this script will convert a day of year and a year into a full date in a couple formats.
