Uwe, I suggest you to create a feature request at https://debbugs.gnu.org for emacs to add a function similar to strptime that can parse date-time string accordingly to given format, see info "(libc) Low-Level Time String Parsing" https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Low_002dLevel-Time-String-Parsing.html Actually, I suppose, you need a function that parses date accordingly to current locale. It can be added to the feature request as well (and Eli will say that since Emacs is a multilingual editor, there is no well defined "current locale").

If it's going from <2021-12-31> to 31.12.2021, you shouldn't escape the < or >, you are not matching the -, and there are only 2 number matches.

This is Emacs, of course, so you could use query-replace-regexp (M-%) with, for instance \([0-9][0-9]\)\.\([0-9][0-9]\)\.\([0-9]\{4\}\) as the pattern to search for and <\3-\2-\1> as the replacement.

Hi Does anybody know about a function that would convert between date format like 31.12.2021 to <2020-12-31> and back? Thanks Uwe Brauer
