Anyone want to vote for a new standard date format?

YYYY-MM-DD

In fact I believe the above is some standard now...

  I find myself more and more encountering this as input from systems  
both of my own creation and from others...

Now you have to do a little dance to get that into a convertable  
string...or am I missing something

input: e.g.

06/04/13 tab someData tab SomeMoreData etc

set the itemdel to tab
put item 1 of line 1 into tDate
set the itemdel to "/"
put "/" &  item 1 of tDate after tDate
delete item 1 of tDate
set the itemdel to tab
