Dates and Strings

Handling Date Strings

Although DOORS prints dates correctly, there is no easy way to create a date string in a specified format within DXL. These utilities return date strings in long format DD Month YYYY and DD Month YYYY HH:MM respectively.

Usage:

string getDateString(Date d)
string getDateAndTimeString(Date d)

Example:

Date d = dateOf(intOf(today))

print d "\n"
print getDateString(d) "\n"
print getDateAndTimeString(d) "\n"

Chomsky Random Sentence Generator

This include file implements a utility function, getRandomText(), to return a random sentence. The sentence returned is a proper English sentence, but is of course complete jibberish. Such sentences are useful for creating test data.
