Hi,

Say you are working with a CSV file generated by a legacy mainframe which
stores dates in the format 'ddMMMyy' e.g. ,16JUN05,

Extracting the individual date parts is easy enough, but is there a "neat"
way of converting the string 'JUN' into the integer 6. Obviously it would be
easy enough to write a function for this, but is there a simpler way, say,
with int.Parse or something similar.

Just curious... :-)
