Dear Emacs community,
I'm writing a function for translating dates in the form of a
string into Spanish and Russian. For example, you have:
"Thu, 21 Nov 2002 16:05:50 -0600 (CST)"
Within my function I used a `let' expression of the form:
(let ((day (substring "Thu, 21 Nov 2002 16:05:50 -0600 (CST)" 0 3))
(month (substring "Thu, 21 Nov 2002 16:05:50 -0600 (CST)" 8 11)))
...)
All works fine provided that there isn't any date with
one-digit day, i. e., "Fri, 8 Nov 2002 11:56:37 -0500 (CST)"
My question is what function I could use for correctly
splitting the string.
Please be indulgent with me since
1. I'm not a programmer
2. I don't have access to the elisp manual even on-line (my
connection is very slow, only sufficient to download my
e-mail).
Thank you very much in advance
luis
