"Naked" dotted european dates without surrounding text are parsed correctly by org-read-date. But with date/time prompt I mean the prompt which asks me for a date/time when invoking org-time-stamp. Here I'm allowed to insert Dates like "the event takes place at 27.10. at 14:00 in the pub". Org-mode is supposed to parse these, see [[info:org#The%20date/time%20prompt][info:org#The date/time prompt]]. If I now yank "Kommt am 27.10.2012 um 14:00 zum" in this date/time prompt, the result is "<2010-10-27 Mi 14:00>" instead of "<2012-10-27 Sa 14:00>". ^ ^^ ^ ^^ I had a look at org-time-stamp which is invoked by "C-c ." I do not understand how this function parses dates/times from text. Therefore I looked for functions with appropriate names which are called by org-time-stamp. The only one I could find is org-read-date. It obviously parses dates from a string and identifies parts (day, month, year). I thought org-read-date does the heavy lifting with respect to date parsing. But now I think you are right and org-read-dates parses "naked dates". But where does the parsing of texts which contain dates take place? Ciao, Gregor -- -... --- .-. . -.. ..--.. ...-.-
