Hello all,

Quite a while ago there was some discussion about making parseArgsEx
work for parsing dates without splitting it up. For example, you have
a search 'test' which takes a date as a parameter and the site only
takes n/n/n as an acceptable format. Since parseArgsEx splits on EVERY
"/" it fails horribly on this method. The fix:


Open defer_tools.js and scroll down to line ~254 (there may be other
differences between our two scripts, so I don't want to promise it's
the right line). You should be within the 'parseArgsEx' function. Look
for this line:
  var args_array = q.split('/');

Replace it with this line:
  var args_array = (" "+q).split(" /");

Reload (!) DQSD.

Test it out. Please let me know if your results are as happy as mine.
:)

***** WARNING *****
*******************

WARNING: This WILL affect all searches that use parseArgsEx for
parsing (which, in MY mind, is a good thing - but that means it wil
affect ALL those searches. A quick search returned NO searches in the
primary distribution that rely on parseArgsEx - but your actual
mileage may vary).

Since I'm probably one of the very few people that actually use
parseArgsEx, and I don't see any searches that rely on it's *current*
function (split on "/" instead of " /"), is there any objection to
committing this change in CVS?
