Hi In our country in Windows 8 is preset default short date format "d. M. rrrr"
In fpc: DefaultFormatSettings.ShortDateFormat is set to 'd. M. yyyy' DefaultFormatSettings.DateSeparator = '.' StrToDateTime('1. 1. 2000 12:00') has problem because func SplitDateTimeStr scans input string forward to find WhiteSpace. I Delphi7 StrToDateTime works correctly. After short look at rtl code I do not see any solution with SplitDateTimeStr. I think that correct solution is to first try parse date without splitting and then parse remaining optional time. I can try to do that, but are there any StrToDateTime tests? I do not want to break what is working until now. Petr -- Petr Kristan .
