The only one I can think of is an actual unix timestamp, though, and we already require that to have at least 9 digits (plus anybody wanting to use one robustly really should be using @12345678). And it looks like we'd exit early from the function for anything longer than 4 digits anyway, ignoring the value. We could probably tighten the heuristics a bit by insisting that the month and day be sensible. Or even year (see the 1900 to 2100 magic for the 4-digit year guess). > + /* 6 digits, compact style of ISO-8601's time: HHMMSS */ > + if (n == 6) { > + tm->tm_hour = num / 10000; > + tm->tm_min = (num % 10000) / 100; > + tm->tm_sec = num % 100; > + if (*end == '.' && isdigit(end[1])) > + strtoul(end + 1, &end, 10); > + return end - date; > + } And likewise here that the hour, minute, and second be reasonable. -Peff
