Old code, probably terribly inefficient:
//YYYY-MM-DD
static public const SIMPLE_INTL_DATE : RegExp =
/^(\d{4})[-\/](\d{2})[-\/](\d{2})$/;
//YYYY-MM-DD - midday!
static public function parseSimpleIntlDate(input : String) : Date {
var parts : Array = input.match(SIMPLE_INTL_DATE);
var d : Date = new Date();
d.milliseconds = 0;
d.seconds = 0;
d.minutes = 0;
d.hours = 12;
d.date = Convert.stringToInt(parts[3]);
d.month = Convert.stringToInt(parts[2]) - 1;
d.fullYear = Convert.stringToInt(parts[1]); //Not really
necessary, since we're unlikely to have a year < 999, but you get that.
return d;
}
public class Convert {
private static const validButIgnoredCharactersInNumbers : RegExp =
/[,\$]/g;
public static function stringToInt(input : String) : Number {
return parseInt(cleanupNumberInput(input));
}
public static function stringToFloat(input : String) : Number {
return parseFloat(cleanupNumberInput(input));
}
public static function cleanupNumberInput(input : String) : String {
if (input == null) return null;
//Strip any initial 0s - don't wanna parse as octal, do we?
var output : String = input;
while (output.charAt(0) == "0" && output.length > 1)
output = output.substr(1);
return output.replace(validButIgnoredCharactersInNumbers, "");
}
}
