help for date-format modifications

[Charles Smith <cts private yahoo com>]

Hello,

Can someone give me a pointer to the likely files to be modified to change the date-recognition code for data-imports?


I'd like to modify gnumeric to accept the (at least-)European format (dd.mm.yyyy) and the minimalistic format yyyymmdd.  (Kudos to gnumeric for supporting yyyy/mm/dd, which is a clean and logical compromise over the brain-dead American format mm/dd/yyyy and the backwards European format dd.mm.yyyy).

Perhaps this requires changing the general cell-formatting code, rather than strictly the data-import code?
