Date fields with empty days fails #6

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a shape file with a date field that has an empty string for the day - 
example: geocommunicator.gov township files

I wrote a simple patch to split on a regex and fail silently if the 
day/month/year cannot be coerced to int.

I found similar problems with extracting data from a shape file. In my case the 
'D' type was specified for a field that did not include a date. I wrote a patch 
where the method would revert to the default behaviour if no date was found.

Thank you for pointing these dbf issues out.  Both are good fixes.  I 
implemented the solution from Tomas.  This technique covers more cases and 
provides an equally good solution for a variety of improper date formatting 
situations.
