[S] Boolean. parse (value)

Parses the Boolean value represented by a string into the corresponding boolean type. The value parameter must be either "true" or "false". It is case-insensitive and can contain spaces.

 
VaRB = Boolean. parse ("True");
 

 

Date. Format (Format)

Format the string (Region settings are irrelevant ).

 
VaRD =NewDate ();
 

 
SYS. Debug. Trace (D. Format ("Dddd, DD mmmm yyyy hh: mm: SS"));
 

 

Date. localeformat (Format)

Format the string (related to region settings ). Use SYS. cultureinfo. currentculture to obtain the region attribute.

 
VaRD =NewDate ();
 

 
SYS. Debug. Trace (D. localeformat ("Dddd, DD mmmm yyyy hh: mm: SS"));
 

 

[S] date. parselocale (value, formats)

Parses the local time and date represented by the string into the corresponding date type. Use SYS. cultureinfo. currentculture to obtain the region attribute.

 
SYS. Debug. Trace (date. parselocale ("4/10/2001","Yyyy-mm-dd",
 

 
"Mm/DD/YYYY"));
 

 
// Date. parselocale will skip the first format here as invalid and use
 

// The second one. If it does not find an appropriate format,
 

 
// The function throws an exception.
 

 

[S] date. parseinvariant (value, formats)

Parses the region-independent date represented by the string into the corresponding date type.

 
SYS. Debug. Trace (date. parseinvariant ("4/10/2001","Yyyy-mm-dd",
 

 
"Mm/DD/YYYY"));
 

 
// Date. parseinvariant will skip the first format here as invalid and use
 

 
// The second one. If it does not find an appropriate format,
 

 
// The function throws an exception.
