It might be: + always use one of them + optionally use one of them + always use any of them + optionally use any of them %pt[RT][dt][rs] is a great mix: + R or T is required, the rest is optional + 'd' or 't' can be used but both together are not supported + any variant of 'r' and 's' is supported including various ordering Honestly, I do not know about any magic solution that might make it easier to understand these monster modifiers. Well, what about using the following at least in this case: %pt[RT][dt][r][s] It might help to understand that both 'r' and 's' can be used at the same time. An attempt to distinguishing all the possibilities might be: %pt{RT}[{dt}][r][s] where [] means that it is optional and {} means one of them must be chosen. But I am not sure if it really makes the life easier.

What about something like? /* 'T' by ISO 8601. */ Or maybe call the variable: iso_8601, remove the comment, and invert the logic: bool iso_8601 = true; case 's': iso_8601 = false; break; *buf = iso_8601 ? 'T' : ' '; > if (buf < end) > - *buf = 'T'; > + *buf = space ? ' ' : 'T'; > buf++; > } > if (have_t) Best Regards, Petr
