Handle date format that is not US fromat (mm/dd/yyyy) but International Format (dd/mm/yyyy) in readers.

Hi,

If the user export the data with a different date format that is not mm/dd/yyyy, the readers will not worked or convert the date wrongly.

Maybe add a user input option...

I will look at this package. datefinder

@Shadoward, are you talking specifically about a format? The largest majority has only one possible format.

@giumas, I am located in Brazil and they do not use US date format (mm/dd/yyyy) but International format (dd/mm/yyyy). The raw data have that format.

Not sure I have the knowledge to do that but want SSM to handle other date format.

Do you mean to handle the date format in the SSM database? Or in a specific input format (e.g., Valeport)?
I am asking because the dates are currently stored as timestamp in the database:

@giumas in the input data....
The raw data has the international format, no US.
