Description (last modified by MarcusWalther) (diff)

inverse operation of "calc t make_time". If a time string is entered the calc command returns the time string in numeric format. For example: 

calc i &d = 10-Aug-2008:10:10:24.4 get_day
echo "d
10
calc i &m = 10-Aug-2008:10:10:24.4 get_month
echo "m
8

If you just want to get information about day, month, year, ... you could use the EXTRACT subfunction of CALC. To make this reliable, the time string must have a fixed format (e.g. length of year is four, and so on):

sdef foo 1-feb-99_1:2:3.01
sdef bar
calc t &bar = "foo tadd 0
sdef month
calc s &month = "bar extract 4 3
