Usage: | STR = WFDB_strdat(DATE); | |
Input: | STR: (string) date, in DD/MM/YYYY format | |
Output: | DATE: (integer) Julian date |
This function converts an ASCII string in DD/MM/YYYY format into a Julian date. If the string is improperly formatted, WFDB_strdat returns zero. Note that dates such as '15/3/89' refer to the first century A.D., not the twentieth or twenty-first.
