Keywords

        FORMAT=fmt Specify format of input.
          Use the letters y,n,d to in the same positions as year,
          month, and day in the input string, and the letters h, m,
          and s for hour, minute, second. Any other characters may
          be used as place holders. Case is ignored. For example:
          for txt='gs_06oct09_0208_multi.png' use
          fmt='xx_yynndd_hhmm_xxxxx.xxx'
          If s and/or m are not used they default to 0.
          Trailing placeholders are not really needed.
          All input strings must have the same format to use this.

          structure with {yymmmdd:k,ddmmmyy:1-k} where k is 1 for

          date2ymd,date,y,m,d,yymmmdd=d.yymmmdd, ddmmmyy=d.ddmmmyy
