Subject: xaccParseQIFDate tends to get non-US dates wrong
Full_Name: Martin Schwenke
Version: 1.3.0
GUI: gnucash-gnome
OS: Debian GNU/Linux (potato) - kernel 2.2.14
Submission from: (NULL) (203.29.91.49)
The date parsing in xaccParseQIFDate assumes US date format as a default.
In date.c, scanDate seems to do a better job, although the return values need
to be slightly hacked:
scanDate(str, &dat.tm_mday, &dat.tm_mon, &dat.tm_year);
dat.tm_mon -= 1;
dat.tm_year -= 1900;
A complete patch appears at the end.
Also, the "all dates are 1970" bug seems to happen when the QIF data contains
4 digit years.
peace & happiness,
martin
