Examples

Basic Examples  (5)

Interpret dates:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate"]["2010/11/25"]
Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate"]["1999/09/09"]

Restrict the value to be within a given range:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter[Restricted["StructuredDate", {DateObject[{2010, 11, 12}], DateObject[{2010, 11, 12}] + Quantity[1, "Week"]}]]["2010/11/15"]

Use a different format:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate"]["2015 apr 11"]
Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate"]["1945-04-25"]

Specify a custom date format:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate", DateFormat -> {"Day", "/", "Month", ",", "Year"}]["2/12, 2015"]

Specify multiple accepted formats in a list:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate", DateFormat -> {{"Month", "/", "Day", ",", "Year"}, {"Day", "/", "Month", "/", "Year"}}]["2/12, 2015"]

No semantic interpretation of the year is allowed; "10" is interpreted as "10 AD", not "2010":

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate"]["10/11/12"]

Dates that involve a time are not accepted:

Wolfram Language code: Interpreter["StructuredDate"]["1999/09/09 09:09"]
