I need to convert a date/time string (sequence) of the format "20121018123010" into a sequence of numeric values of the format {2012,10,18,12,30,10} I'm looking for the fastest routine execution time possible. It looks like I could use breakup() and then maybe to_integer() or value() on each of the six elements. Am I missing something or is there a better way. Ultimately I need to poke2 each of the word values into a c_func call

Thanks, casey
