TryStrToDate function
Try to convert a string with a date indication to a TDateTime value.
Declaration
function TryStrToDate(const S: ShortString; out Value: TDateTime)
: BooleanDescription
TryStrToDate tries to convert the string
S to a
TDateTime date
value, and stores the date in
Value. The Date must consist of 1 to three digits, separated by the
DateSeparator character. If two numbers are given, they
are supposed to form the day and month of the current year. If only
one number is given, it is supposed to represent the day of the
current month. (This is
not supported in Delphi)
The order of the digits (y/m/d, m/d/y, d/m/y) is determined from the
ShortDateFormat variable.
The function returns True if the string contained a valid date indication,
False otherwise.
