Parse uncommon format to datetime

[Mo0211]

Hey,

i'm trying to parse the format 'June 3, 2024' to a datetime-object.
What is not clear to me, how to set the formatsettings correct in this case.
What is the datetimeseperator for example?
Which settings are really needed?

I hope someone can give me a small hint.

Thanks and have a good day!

In case locale of the machine on which code is running is same as that from code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. program test;
2. uses
3.   sysutils,dateutils;
4. var
5.   dt:TDateTime;
6. begin
7.   dt:=ScanDateTime('mmmm" "d", "yyyy', 'June 3, 2024');
8.   writeln('date : ', FormatDateTime('yyyy"-"mm"-"dd', dt));
9. end.
10.

If everything else fails....

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. program Project1;
2. Uses SysUtils, Regexpr;
3. Var r:Tregexpr;
4.     b:Boolean;
5.     i:Integer;
6. begin
7.   r:=TRegExpr.Create;
8.   r.ModifierI:=True;
9.   r.ModifierG:=True;
10.   r.Expression:='(\D+)\s*(\d{1,2})\s*,\s*(\d{4})';
11.   r.InputString:='June 6, 2025';
12.   b:=r.exec;
13.   If b Then
14.     Begin
15.       //Index 0 is the Match itself. From Index 1 up are the capturing groups
16.       For i:=1 To r.SubExprMatchCount Do Writeln(r.Match[i]);
17.     end;
18.   Readln;
19.   r.free;
20. end.
21.  

Still your job to THEN check if it's a valid Date.
If you have to run that thing through a loop, then you should probably use "Compile"-Function of Regex to compile everything beforehand, and in the loop just change InputString incl. Exec
