ans time (or only one of them) in `free' format, i.e. allow them to be
specified in any of possible ways. These functions will usually be used to
parse the (interactive) user input which is not bound to be in any predefined
format. As an example, \helpref{ParseDateTime}{wxdatetimeparsedatetime} can

{\tt "next Sunday"}.
+Finally notice that each of the parsing functions is available in several
+overloads: if the input string is a narrow (\texttt{char *}) string, then a
+narrow pointer is returned. If the input string is a wide string, a wide char
+pointer is returned. Finally, if the input parameter is a wxString, a narrow
+char pointer is also returned for backwards compatibility but there is also an
+additional argument of wxString::const\_iterator type in which, if it is not
+\NULL, an iterator pointing to the end of the scanned string part is returned.
