I've been looking for a function or library to parse a date in a custom format (for validation) similar to C#'s [1] TryParseExactbut I couldn't find any. so far I only found fromISOExtString(), and fromSimpleString() which doesn't allow me to set a custom string format. I've looked up at

https://code.dlang.org/search?q=date
https://code.dlang.org/search?q=date+parsing

but to my surpise I didn't find either. Am I using wrong keywords or there's no really such method implemented yet?

http://code.dlang.org/packages/datefmt didn't do it for you?

...that readme is pretty terrible, granted.
