I'm reading in files with dates in this format: "2011-11-25". I need to
write them out as "2011/11/25". Instead of just manhandling the strings
(I'll likely need this date information in other places) I wanted to
parse the strings into proper date objects, then format them back into
strings. `date-to-time' doesn't work because (parse-time-string
"2011-11-15") gives me:
(nil nil nil 15 11 2011 nil nil nil)
Which is not acceptable to `encode-time', because it requires integers,
not nil. I can't believe this is quite this complicated: do I really
have to replace all the nils with 0 myself?
Any pointers gratefully accepted,
Eric
