I think I found the bug. The function split-string here lets date-string equal [2009-07-27 instead of 2009-07-27

You found a common error when splitting strings. Your function split-string is likely including the
|
|
square bracket character, "[" as part of the split value instead of recognizing it as a delimiter or
|
|
extraneous character.
|
|
|
|
You might consider adjusting your function to remove or ignore special characters like "[", "]"
|
|
during the split process, or, prior to calling split-string, you might sanitize your date-string by
|
|
removing all square brackets.
|
|
|
|
For example, whatever language you are using, you might do something like:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC python
|
|
* Python Example
|
|
date_string = date_string.replace("[", "").replace("]", "")
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
|
|
// JavaScript Example
|
|
date_string = date_string.replace(/\[/g, "").replace(/\]/g, "");
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
This might solve your problem as it will ensure that when you run split-string, you are only working
|
|
with the plain date information.

This indeed would be a bug. The function ~split-string~ is supposed to break apart a string into
|
|
separate parts, but in this case, it's incorrectly keeping the opening bracket '[' as part of the
|
|
first string element.
|
|
|
|
The bug could be in the implementation of ~split-string~ function if it does not correctly handle
|
|
special characters like square brackets or could be due to not properly cleaning up your inputs
|
|
before processing them.
|
|
|
|
You might need to clean the ~date-string~ variable before passing it to ~split-string~. This
|
|
cleaning could involve removing unwanted characters like this opening bracket.
|
|
|
|
Depending on your programming language a simple fix could be like:
|
|
|
|
Python:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC python
|
|
date_string = date_string.strip('[')
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
Java:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC java
|
|
date_string = date_string.replace("[", "");
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
This will ensure, ~[~ does not form part of your ~date-string~.
|
|
|
|
Remember to also check your ~split-string~ function if it should typically handle such cases. The
|
|
function may need to be adjusted to accommodate or exclude such special characters as needed.
