StrToDateTime

function StrToDateTime(const DateTime string):TclDateTime;

The StrToDateTime function attempts to convert a date plus time as a string DateTime into a TclDateTime value. The first, date part of the string must adhere to the format of the ShortDateFormat value, and use the DateSeparator character to separate the day, month and year values.

The second, time part, separated by a blank from the date must adhere to the format of the LongTimeFormat value, and use the TimeSeparator character to separate the hour, minute and second values.

The default format is day.month.year hour:minute:second, where :

The day must be 1..31 (depending on month/year)

The month must be 1..12

The year must be 0..9999 (optional)

The hour must be 0..23

The minute must be 0..59 (optional)

The second must be 0..59 (optional)

Example:

Base Syntax

 var
   myDateTime : TclDateTime;
 
 begin
 
   myDateTime := StrToDateTime('23.02.75   12');
   ShowMessage('23.02.75   12      = '+DateTimeToStr(myDateTime));
 
   myDateTime := Now;
   ShowMessage('Now   = '+DateTimeToStr(myDateTime));
 
 end;

TRObject Syntax

 var
   myDateTime : TclDateTime;
 
 {
 
   myDateTime = StrToDateTime('23.02.75   12');
   ShowMessage('23.02.75   12      = '+DateTimeToStr(myDateTime));
 
   myDateTime = Now;
   ShowMessage('Now   = '+DateTimeToStr(myDateTime));
 
 }

Output:

23.02.75   12      = 23.02.1975 12:00:00
Now   = 28.02.2023 14:50:56
