Is there a neat may to get numerical month from date function?

Mike German
I was just wondering if there is a neat way of getting the month from the string returned by date() as a numeric. For example in the UK this is the format I get
•print date() 13 Jan 2025
I want to get the current month Jan as either 01 or 1
At the moment all I can see is using a list of month abbreviations and compare.
I was a bit hasty in asking - just seen this example in Help
