Hi, I have written a parser that turns an RFC2822 date and time specification into a datatype usable in Haskell. While the parser is working just fine so far, I have a problem with the CalendarTime datatype. It appears that in order to construct one of those, I need _all_ the information it contains, including the weekday (Day) and the number of the day in the year.
The problem now is that I do not have this information! Of course I could calculate these values by hand, but this is immensely complicated. I thought about using a TimeDiff instead, but apparently the functions provided in the Prelude do not handle TimeDiff for anything except for "maths" -- what doesn't really help me for what I am trying to do. I briefly looked at the Posix module that comes with GHC as well, and which seems to provide CTime. But then, the Posix module appears to be non-standard. *sigh* Any suggestions what I could do? -peter _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
