As you may see, "12/31/1943" and "12/31-43" are correctly treated as invalid dates.
What is puzzling is that "12 31/1943" and "12 31 1943" are not treated the same way.
I don't see any logic behind these different behaviors.
It's assuming two numbers separated by a space represent a time, and then ignores the rest.
Thank's Shane
If AppleScript is able to identify something resembling a valid date, it deciphers it. set astring to "31 12-1943Yvan's birthday" date astring (*date "vendredi 31 décembre 1943 00:00:00"*) Good point, it wasn't a vendredi 13 ;).
If it doesn't, it try to decipher a time. set astring to "12 31-1943Yvan's birthday" date astring (*date "samedi 14 mars 2015 12:31:00"*)
This day is a good one, I learnt something.
