Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
_text |
The string to convert to a date value. |
_sequence |
A three digit integer that describes the positions of the day, month, and year in the string to convert. |
Return Value
A date value.
Remarks
Use the following values to specify the positions of the day, month, and year in the _sequence parameter:
day: 1
month: 2
year: 3
For example, if the sequence in the string is month, year, then day, the _sequence parameter must be 231.
A zero date is returned if the input parameters specify an invalid date. The following two examples specify an invalid date:
str2Date("31/12/44", 123) // Year must be four digits to reach the minimum of January 1 1901.
str2Date("31/12/2044", 213) // 213 means the month occurs first in the string, but 31 cannot be a month.
Example
static void str2DateExample(Args _arg)
{
date d;
;
d = str2Date("22/11/2007", 123);
print d;
pause;
}
