Class DateTextNormalizer

Namespace

Tripous

Assembly

Tripous.dll

Normalizes and parses date text using ISO format and culture short-date format.

ISO-like input is detected when the text contains a dash or starts with a four-digit part.

Examples: 2030 becomes 2030-01-01, 2030-03 becomes 2030-03-01, and 2030-03-10 remains 2030-03-10.

Culture input follows ShortDatePattern. For a DMY culture, 10/3 becomes 10/03/current-year and 10/3/30 becomes 10/03/2030.
