When converting from COM to Lua, the default behavior is to transform DATE
values to strings formatted according to the current locale. The
converse is true: LuaCOM converts strings formatted according to the
current locale to DATE values.
The script can change the conversion from strings to tables by
setting the DateFormat
field of the luacom
table (the
LuaCOM namespace) to the string "table"
. The table will
have Day
, DayOfWeek
, Month
, Year
,
Hour
, Minute
, Second
, and Milliseconds
fields. To return the conversion to strings, set the
DateFormat
field to "string"
. Be careful with this
feature, as it may break compatibility with other scripts.
