Summary0000401: SCv3 - StrToDate doesn't work as intended
DescriptionFunction takes a string as an argument, but as if it started from index 2, e.g. "2013-08-26" will be passed as "013-08-26". However, " 2013-08-26" is not a valid input as well.

This causes StrToDate( DateToStr( Now ) ) to not work.
Steps To ReproduceEvery single one below causes an error.

StrToDate(DateToStr(Date()));
StrToDate(' 2013-08-26');
StrToDate(' 13/08/10');
StrToDate(' 15/03/75');
StrToDate(' 15-03-75');
Additional InformationI failed in finding the working function input

Please provide feedback in the upcoming 1.6.8 beta.

Use the new stuff:

Global.ShortDateFormat := 'd/m/y';
Global.DateSeparator := '/';

before any execution of StrToDate (once is okay tho).

Issues listed before are all still present despite setting the Global properties.

look,

try this:

Global.DateSeparator := '-';
WriteLn(DateToStr(StrToDate('15-03-75')));

for me it works. Please note that DateSeparator needs to be the same char as the separator used in your string.

Well, closing this now (setting this to resolved)

use StrToDateTime instead in the next version.
