https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D257075 Daniel Tameling <tamelingdaniel@gmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |tamelingdaniel@gmail.com --- Comment #2 from Daniel Tameling <tamelingdaniel@gmail.com> --- I recently wanted to use touch -d with the Date string from Email headers a= nd I would also appreciate more flexibility. In the end I used GNU touch, which = is very liberal in what it accepts: The --date=3DSTRING is a mostly free format human readable date string su= ch as=20 "Sun, 29 Feb 2004 16:21:42 -0800" or "2004-02-29 16:21:42" or even "next= =20 Thursday". A date string may contain items indicating calendar date, time= of=20 day, time zone, day of week, relative time, relative date, and numbers. A= n=20 empty string indicates the beginning of the day. The date string format is more=20 complex than is easily documented here but is fully described in the info= =20 documentation. I think matching that would be an overkill, but it would be nice to have mo= re options than currently supported. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
