[REBOL] I miss ..., bug in to-local-file ...
From: petr::krenzelok::trz::cz at: 8-Jun-2001 13:22
Hi,
1) today I worked on some short virus user log analysing script
producing .html file output, and while I was able to use Czech langueage
characters, I have two following observations:
a) Special characters are not correctly sorted, e.g. S^ is not following
S
, but is placed right after "Z" ... not sure if it is currently
solvable ...
b) we have system/locale settings, but even to-idate ignores them:
->> source to-idate
to-idate: func [
"Returns a standard Internet date string."
date [date!]
/local str
][
str: form date/zone
remove find str ":"
if (first str) <> #"-" [insert str #"+"]
if (length? str) <= 4 [insert next str #"0"]
head insert str reform [
pick ["Mon," "Tue," "Wed," "Thu," "Fri," "Sat," "Sun,"]
date/weekday
date/day
pick [
"Jan" "Feb" "Mar" "Apr" "May" "Jun" "Jul" "Aug" "Sep" "Oct"
Nov
"Dec"
] date/month
date/year date/time ""
]
]
I would like to suggest adding to-local-date mezzanine, to return local
date setting, if possible ... currently I am just using my own solution:
system/locale/months: ["Leden" "Únor" "Březen" "Duben" "Květen" "Červen"
Červenec
"Srpen"
"Září" "Říjen" "Listopad" "Prosinec"]
system/locale/days: ["Pondělí" "Úterý" "Středa" "Čtvrtek" "Pátek"
Sobota
"Neděle"]
months: [
Jan
"01"
Feb
"02"
Mar
"03"
Apr
"04"
May
"05"
Jun
"06"
Jul
"07"
Aug
"08"
Sep
"09"
Oct
"10"
Nov
"11"
Dec
"12"
]
to-local-date: func [rebdate][
tmp: parse to-string rebdate "-"
return join "" [either (to-integer first tmp) < 10 [join "0" first
tmp][first tmp] "." select months second tmp "." third tmp]
]
... but, isn't there any general solution to the problem? (maybe native
function getting OS locale setting?)
2)
->> join to-local-file %/C/Work/ "ble.txt"
== %C:\Workble.txt
Cheers,
