[Mapserver-dev] Maplexer.l/strptime

[Ned Harding]

Damn, sorry.  I got the behavior backwards...  I'm embarrassed now.  The
function didn't show up in the VC7.1 docs, so I guessed its behavior.

Anyway, I put the old version back in CVS.  Sorry about that; good catch
Daniel.

Ned.

strptime() converts a string to a time struct, so it is unlikely that 
you can emulate that with sprintf().  I know that Assefa was going to 
work on this, perhaps he can give us an update?

I have created bug 556 to track this:
