Serious Date Bug
Posted: Tue Mar 11, 2008 5:38 pm
One of my instruments produces CSV data thus:-
Date,Time,Reading1,Reading2
29/2/2008,23:59:57,15,31
29/2/2008,23:59:58,15,30
29/2/2008,23:59:59,16,29
01/3/2008,00:00:00,17,28
01/3/2008,00:00:01,18,27
01/3/2008,00:00:02,19,26
Dplot cannot understand this date format and reverses the plot so that 01/03/2008 occurs before 29/02/2008
Rather than unsuccesfully trying to decide which date format is in use and changing it's mind half way though parsing, wouldn't Dplot benefit from a checkbox or dialog after loading the file?
Keep up the good work.
Regards, Martin
