Online Column Q & A followup

Question:

G'day Bill,

The answer you gave to this question may have been fine for a program or web page to be consumed only in the USA, but not for the rest of the world. The US is the only country to use a month - day - year numerical format. The rest of us use day - month - year.

Cheers

Answer:

Tony,

You are correct. I did not cover any form of internationalization. Quite simply, that was a space issue. There is only so much space that can be devoted to a Q & A column. The thesis of the column was that you can use Regular Expressions for complicated processing. The date question, regardless of MMDDYY, or DDMMYY, certainly shows that.

Thanks for reading.
