Hi

I'm struggling with dates and date formats. I'm reading a file that
contains a date format field which contains the string
"YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss:TZD" and a date field that contains the string
"2004-03-12T09:30:47". How do I create a date object using the format
and date information that I have been given. The date format (and
hence the date) can be variable so I need to use the information in
the file rather than manually parsing the date if possible.

Regards
Roger
