Re: [Boost-users] [date_time] How to create a date fromstringwithspecific format?

Alexandre, the following code will give an exception stating "Error:
Year is out of valid range: 1400..10000". I don't think the myDate
object is correctly initialized. Can you check this on your machine,
please. Can you call myDate.year_month_day()?

   date_input_facet* pMyFacet = new date_input_facet( "%m-%d-%Y" );
   std::locale loc( std::locale::classic(), pMyFacet );

   std::istringstream oo;
   oo.str( "22-03-2006" );

   date myDate;

   try
   {
      oo >> myDate;

      date::ymd_type ymd = myDate.year_month_day();
   }
   catch( std::out_of_range oEx )
   {
      std::cout << "Error: " << oEx.what() << std::endl;
   }

Thanks ahead,
Christian
