Hi list
Has anyone got a quick little function to get idates back into the date! datatype?
(Maxim, Tim, see the brackets in the subject line?)
Thanks,
HY

No, but I have a quick hack:
xx: to-idate now
loop 2 [replace skip xx 5 " " "/"]
type? first load skip xx 5

Yes, of course. And then we can make this little enhancement to to-date:
to-date: func [value /idate][
either idate [
replace/all skip value 5 " " "/"
load skip value 5
] [
to date! :value ; original to-date
]
]
which gives us this (from console):
>> to-date to-idate now
** Script Error: Invalid argument: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 10:40:19 +0100
** Where: to-date
** Near: to date! :value
>> to-date/idate to-idate now
== 23-Mar-2004/10:40:28+1:00
