TTime::Parse() with correct DateFormat

[giedi1]

hey,
I would like to parse TDesC to TTime format usind TTime::Parse().

As I noticed this functions use system DateFormat to parse TDesC correctly.
I know that I can change system DateFormat using TLocale::Set() if TLocale:ateFormat() doesnt match my preferred DateFormat, but it is risky (what if my application Panic??).

My question is how to change DateFormat temporarly (just for my application) to let TTime::Parse() parse my TDesC without interferring to system settings.

How about the FormatL() function in TTime?

But I want to convert FROM TDesC -> TO TTime.

As I use FormatL only FROM TTime -> TO TDesC

Prefer using TTime::Parse.

If that doesnt help then you can parse the date time components manually and assign these values to a TDateTime object. Once you are done with parsing you can create a TTime object by passing TDateTime object to its constructor TTime::TTime(const TDateTime &aDateTime)

Hope that helps,

Thanks for your answer.

I know I can do it manually for example check DateFormat on device and compare to dateformat of my TDesC and rebuil it to device format and it is OK.

But I ve to read a lots of Date&Time TDesC and do it repeatadly.

I m looking for as fast as possible solution

hey

I am reading from file day/month/year hour:min:sec (euro)

I wanna convert it to TTime without dependency on local DateFormat. As fast as possible.
I know how to check local DateFormat and rebuild file string to correct format but I want to avod this.
