Support eurodate format (dd-mmm-yy with a digit month) #139

Open dferstay opened 2 years ago

dferstay commented 2 years ago

We have support for dates of the form dd-mmm-yy where mmm is an alphanumeric literal; for example:

"15-Jan-2017"

However, there is a European date format that is similar where mmm is a digit; for example:

"15-01-2017"

The above fails to parse with:

Could not find format for "28-02-02"

I'm thinking that this is the same as dd/mm/yyyy vs mm/dd/yyyy, which is discussed near the very top of the README.md

MM/DD/YYYY VS DD/MM/YYYY Right now this uses mm/dd/yyyy WHEN ambiguous if this is not desired behavior, use ParseStrict which will fail on ambiguous date strings.
