Dates

Parsing

Parse a date and time from a string

Given the string "2008-05-06 13:29", parse it as a date representing 6th March, 2008 1:29:00pm in the local time zone.

erlang

% AFAIK, no datetime-parsing library exists; 'parse_to_datetime' is a simplistic, problem-specific hack
LocalDateTime = erlang:universaltime_to_localtime(parse_to_datetime("2008-05-06 13:29:34")),

clojure

(.. (SimpleDateFormat. "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm")
(parse "2008-05-06 13:29"))

groovy

def date = new SimpleDateFormat("yyy-MM-dd HH:mm").parse("2008-05-06 13:29")

groovy

def date = Date.parse("yyy-MM-dd HH:mm", "2008-05-06 13:29")

fsharp

let dateTime = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2008-05-06 13:29")

// Use format specifiers to appropriately format string
// 1. Default culture
printfn "%s" (dateTime.ToString("d MMMM, yyyy h:mm:sstt"))

// 2. Nominated culture
Console.WriteLine("{0}", dateTime.ToString("d MMMM, yyyy h:mm:sstt"), Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-us"))

fsharp

let dateTime = DateTimeOffset.Parse("2008-05-06 13:29")

// Customize date/time string
let dsb = ((new StringBuilder(40)).Append(dateTime.ToString("%d")).Append("th ").Append(dateTime.ToString("MMMM, yyyy h:mm:ss")).Append(dateTime.ToString("tt").ToLower()))

printfn "%s" (dsb.ToString())
