How Long Has It Been Since a Certain Date?

Date Parse

FormatDateTime Functio

Compare two dates in Java.

convert WMI, date - time values

A handy class I use all the time to encapsulate the idea of whether two events coincide. For example, given a time period representing a shift, and a list of time periods representing transactions or sessions or whatever, find which ones are either totally or partially within the time period. This class make it a bit easier.

If you only want to compare yyyy-mm-dd you can use the java.sql.Date class, the valueOf method does the trick. It's perfectly safe as the sql Date class is a subclass of the Date class.

Check out the docs here for more detail.

Computes the difference between two dates in seconds

Simple, but fast implementation of the Naive Sub-String Search Algorithm with my own enhancements written in Delphi.

This function returns a Date object being set at 12 A.M. It is useful for comparing dates where you don't know if they'll come set at the beginning of the day or not.
