But you would better specify yyyy-mm-dd, since "/" is a directory delimiter on some systems
just 2 bit from a computer geek ;-) |
In reply to Message (19085.1.2.1) only effective way to disambiguate dates
By Anonymous - Thu 03/11/05 00:11:17 GMT The only really effective way to disambiguate dates is yyyy/mm/dd - i.e 2005/11/02. But hardly anyone uses this except computer geeks (and they do because you can sort on dates and it works - all the other formats require special processing). |

By AnthonyX - anthonyx@jowc.net Wed 02/11/05 21:56:42 GMT I think there are a half-dozen different ways routinely used to write dates in a numeric-only format. The only effective way to disambiguate dates is to use a 4-digit year and month name instead of number eg. 2-Nov-2005. Of course this has its own issues - language being an obvious one. |

By Frank - Wed 02/11/05 20:56:27 GMT Exactly when did the world decide to occasionaly start changing how dates are displayed? I mean, FOREVER it was MM/DD/YY... like today is 11/02/05. No mistaking that for anything but today. But 2/11? That could either be February 11th, or somebody using the new way of showing a date... but either way it lends itself to confusion.
Just a mindless rant... |
