Xavier,
I accidentally deleted your message before going throught it in depth; so
I'm working from memory.
What is the source of the large numbr of dates you are
processing/validating? If the source is automated, why aren't the dates
validated at input?
Are you really needing to make sure the

Since we're talking about dates, and date formats, I thought I'd forward
a note from /.

Frank, et al,
note that I seem to have come across a problem with this that sticks a
leading zero on the day number, even though my system prefs do not call
for one.
I see that in Transcript also; it was not a problem in HyperTalk.
BTW, doesn't your long date conversion test fail for dates outsid

Want to be even more flexible? Try this:
convert myvalue to long date
if it is "invalid date" then
answer "That date is invalid!"
else
put it into myvalue
end if
This will convert other recognized date formats into the long date
format and replace

I see seconds & fixed notations (yours + Julian + whatever) as non-sequitur:
To put it another way: For user input validation, a date is valid ONLY if
it conforms to the computer's current system date format.

Jacque, et al,
If you can think of a bullet-proof way to evaluate dates in all languages,
with all types of delimiters, with all types of system date formats,
without mistaking seconds or fixed-length notations as non-dates, you
might consider submitting a feature request with your suggestions.

I don't think this is a bug. Evaluating dates is a tricky business and I
think the engine does a pretty good job of it. We can't expect it
This is nothing new, Xavier,

It gets worse... 1 is also a date!
So either the << is a date>> function is useless as a date checker and we
all must roll our own AGAIN
Virtually any integer represents a date in seconds format in xTalks; so if

Hi everyone,
Although I discovered this bug using MetaCard, it wasn't surprising that
it didn't work either in Rev...
After the date sorting and conversion problems, this comes as the cherry
on the cake...
I got this nice table "title" field which automatically sorts the columns
below.
