Hmmm ... I think he may be having some problems.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Yes, read the date in that long string format and then
output next Sunday's date in the SAME format.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
I think he'll remain stymied.
Well, try my wonderful C function. It will input a date
in ANY imaginable format and then output the date of the
following Sunday in ANY imaginable format.
All in three lines to boot.
==============================================================
Begin C Function
==============================================================
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>
void convert_date(char *date_to_convert, char *fmtin, char *fmtout, size_t maxout, char *converted_date)
{
time_t curr, diff;
struct tm curr_date;
memset(&curr_date, 0, sizeof curr_date);
strptime(date_to_convert, fmtin, &curr_date);
diff=(time_t)((curr_date.tm_wday==0?0:(7-curr_date.tm_wday)*86400))+mktime(&curr_date);
strftime(converted_date, maxout, fmtout, localtime(&diff));
}
================================================================
End C Function
================================================================
This is a C function. It is NOT a stand-alone program.
It uses GNU gibc, the best C library in the world.
