Dear org-moders,
I now believe I found a bug in org-read-date. There is a problem
parsing European dotted dates. In Dates the like DD.MM.YYYY or
DD.MM.YY or DD.MM. `MM' is recognised as year instead of month:
Today is 2012-10-11:
(org-read-date t nil "Kommt am 27.10.2012 um 14:00 Uhr")
gives
"2010-10-27"
expectet outcome is
"2012-10-27"
Same with abbreviated years:
(org-read-date t nil "Kommt am 27.10.12 um 14:00 Uhr")
"2010-10-27"
expectet outcome is
"2012-10-27"
Days are interpreted correctly:
(org-read-date t nil "Kommt am 27. um 14:00 Uhr")
"2012-10-27"
Since I customised german day names this also is correct:
(org-read-date t nil "Kommt am Sonntag um 14:00 Uhr")
"2012-10-14"
The most common way of expressing dates this year is interpreted
wrongly:
(org-read-date t nil "Kommt am 27.10. um 14:00 Uhr")
"2010-10-27"
expectet outcome is
"2012-10-27"
I read the source of org-read-date but didn't grok it. The regex
in the section labeled ";; Help matching dotted european dates"
looks good to me, but...
Emacs : GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw scroll bars)
of 2012-10-09 on dex, modified by Debian
Package: Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-436-g9b11e6 @
/home/grfz/src/org-mode/lisp/)
I also did these tests with `env -i emacs -d :0.0 -Q':
- GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 / Org-mode 7.9.2
- GNU Emacs 23.4.1 / Org-mode: 6.33x
--> same results (with the exception of german day names).
Thanks for your attention, Gregor
