Re: need to update TimestampUtils code

Hi,

 

Can someone help me to update this small block of code (see BEGIN and END block) in the TimestampUtils class or tell me the direction to do it?  The code allow the util to parse the timezone in both format hhmm or hh:mm.   

 

            // Possibly read timezone.

            sep = charAt(s, start);

            if (sep == '-' || sep == '+') {

                int tzsign = (sep == '-') ? -1 : 1;

                int tzhr, tzmin;

   

                end = firstNonDigit(s, start+1);    // Skip +/-

 

                //CHANGES BEGIN

                //if 4 digits together

                if (end - (start+1) > 2) {

                    //get first 2 digits as tzhr

                    tzhr = number(s,start+1,start+1+2);

                    // get the rest of digits as tzmin

                    tzmin= number(s,start+1+2, end);

                    start=end;

                } else {

                //CHANGES END

 

                    tzhr = number(s, start+1, end);

                    start = end;

 

                    sep = charAt(s, start);

                    if (sep == ':') {

                        end = firstNonDigit(s, start+1);  // Skip ':'

                        tzmin = number(s, start+1, end);

                        start = end;

                    } else {

                        tzmin = 0;

                    }

                }

              

                // Setting offset does not seem to work correctly in all

                // cases.. So get a fresh calendar for a synthetic timezone

                // instead

                result.tz = getCalendar(tzsign, tzhr, tzmin);

 

                start = skipWhitespace(s, start);  // Skip trailing whitespace

            }

 

 

thanks
