Are there standard J utilities for converting Date/time
text into a standard numeric form that accounts for
the complexities of dates?
Yes, but you'd also want something to convert your
timestamp strings to 6!:0 format:
toTs=: 0 ". ' '"_`([:I.(~.":i.10)[EMAIL PROTECTED])`]}~
require'dates'
'2007-04-22T00:06:59Z' -&todayno&(3&{.)&toTs'2007-04-21T10:15:08Z'
1
x:'2007-04-22T00:06:59Z' -&tsrep&toTs'2007-04-21T10:15:08Z'
49911000
The first number there is days, the second is milliseconds
