All,
In playing around with the date prompt (C-.), I ran across the following
puzzling behavior from rather simple inputs.
I entered the following on June 1, 2010. Here is a date entered as
"3/15": <2011-03-15 Tue>. It interpreted it as the upcoming March 15 as
expected.
But here is a date entered as "5/21": <2021-06-05 Sat>. Note how it
interpreted the "21" as the year 2021, not at all what I expected from
the documentation or the analogous "3/15" example.
Maybe there is some underlying logic here that I'm not getting. Perhaps
it has to do with how 2-digit years are interpreted?
What's going on here? I am using org-version 6.36trans on emacs 23.1.
Regards,

I think the program is not expecting '/' instead it expects '-'. Thanks and Regards Noorul ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Doherty, Org-mode List I do not know what version your info reference is but my latest git-versions info page documents the usage of 2/5 date format. (info "(org) The date/time prompt") Then the info page is wrong and the docstring to `org-read-date' states: "The prompt will suggest to enter an ISO date, but you can also enter anything which will at least partially be understood by `parse-time-string'." What `parse-time-string' understands I can not find well documented and it may be a bug or something there but who knows where its behavior is documented?

Indeed. This was a but in the special regexp looking for american-style dates - I had the parts for day and month the wrong way round. Should be fixed now.
