What's different in your date fix from pull request #3?

[brian-pickens]

My date fix grabs the cells date format string and uses that to format the
java date object. Effectively it gets the date value exactly how it was in
the Excel document.

Honestly though I'm not trying to compete with your patch, I just happen to
prefer my approach.

OK. I just wasn't sure what was different. So are you saying that my patch would break on certain date formats?

[brian-pickens]

I don't think it would. Looking at your patch, it looks like the incoming
date value will always be formatted as M/D/YY no matter what the format is
in the excel document. So that would be the difference. Mine would be
formatted in the same way it is formatted in the excel document whatever
that might be.

OK. Now if we can only get bennadel to accept these pull requests. Not sure he's paying attention as mine and one other have been sitting out there for months.

[brian-pickens]

Yeah noticed that. No matter. GitHub makes it pretty easy for people to see
our changes and grab our versions if they want.
