    GlideDate - parseDate(String date, String language, String country)

    Parses a date to the locale associated with the passed language and country codes.

    注:
    This method fails and throws an exception if the regional date format isn't followed.
    表 : 20. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    date String Date formatted in regional syntax.

    Formats:

    • Alphanumeric dates: You can specify months as either three characters such as Jan, Feb, or Mar, or fully spell out the month's name. Years must be four digits and days must be two digits. For example: "31 Jan 2020" or "31 January 2020"
    • Numeric dates: Days and months must be two digits. Four digits are highly preferred for years, though the method does support a two-digit year with less accuracy and a higher chance of parse failure. You must also use the regional date separator. These separators affect the parse based on the passed in language and country values. For example: "12/31/2020" for US locale and "31.12.20" for Estonia locale.
    language String ISO-639 two-character language code.
    country String ISO-3166 two-character country code.
    表 : 21. Returns
    Type Description
    Object Parsed GlideDate object that you can use in calculations or insert in a record.

    This method throws an exception if the date failed to parse. An exception happens when the date format doesn't match the specified locale format (passed language and country parameters).

    The following code example parses a date and adds four weeks to that date.

    var date = GlideDate.parseDate("31 Dec 2020", "en", "GB");
date.addWeeksLocalTime(4);
gs.info("Project is due 4 weeks after start date, on " + date.getDisplayValue());

    Output:

    Project is due 4 weeks after start date, on 2021-01-28
