2. Right now I'm parsing the CLF date and reformatting it into "internet
date" using about a dozen lines of code, and maybe it could be
simplified a bit more but what I'd ideally like is the efficiency of a
one-liner. Anyone here know of a what to alter CLF dates into a form
that will survive Rev's "convert" command in one or two lines?
You don't say what you really want to do with that date, so this may
be going in wrong direction. However, since the format is fixed, you
can try
get (char 8 to 11 of it) & comma & lineoffset(char 4 to 6 of it, the
monthnames) & comma & (char 1 to 2 of it) & comma & (char 13 to 14 of
it) & comma & (char 16 to 17 of it) & comma & (char 19 to 20 of it) &
comma & zero
that gives you dateitems which you can then
convert it to internet date
the only side-effect is that time zone is changed to the time zone of
local computer
If you can skip day of the week, you can the internet date more directly
get (char 1 to 2 of it) && (char 4 to 6 of it) && (char 8 to 11 of
it) && (char 13 to -1 of it)
If you really need dateitems or seconds for analysis
get "Sun," && (char 1 to 2 of it) && (char 4 to 6 of it) && (char 8
to 11 of it) && (char 13 to -1 of it)
convert it to seconds -- or dateitems
