Hi Pablo

Here is a quick solution. However, it not treat the incorrect input data, ie it requires, however, correct input, otherwise it will collapse ...

Jaroslav Hajtmar



\usemodule[scancsv]

\def\ddmmyyyy#1#2#3{% #1 - date, #2 - old separator, #3 - new separator
\startlua
    parsedate=thirddata.scancsv.ParseCSVLine('#1','#2');
    day=tonumber(parsedate[1]);
    month=tonumber(parsedate[2]);
    year=tonumber(parsedate[3]);
    if (year<2000) then year=year+2000 end;
    tex.print(day..'#3'..month..'#3'..year);
\stoplua
}

\unexpanded\def\lineaction{
    \Name\ arrived on \ddmmyyyy{\Date}{/}{.} \\
}


%     Name;Date
%     ME;11/10/14
%     You;05/02/14
%     He;15/02/2014
%     She;03/03/12
%     It;03/03/14

\setheader
 \setsep{;}
 \setfiletoscan{mail.csv}

\starttext
   \filelineaction
\stoptext

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

     \usemodule[scancsv]

     \unexpanded\def\lineaction{
     \Name\ arrived on \Date\\
     }

     \setheader
     \setsep{;}
     \setfiletoscan{mail.csv}

     \starttext
         \filelineaction
     \stoptext

that reads data from mail.csv:

     Name;Date
     ME;11/10/14
     You;05/02/14
     He;15/02/2014
     She;03/03/12
     It;03/03/14

My question is simple (and not related to CSV data import): how can I
define a command (ConTeXt or Lua) that changes date format from DD/MM/YY
to DD/MM/YYYY when required?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
