date question [message #11323]

I need to be able to convert a semi-standard date string, such as
3/24/98 14:22:10.120
into a value that is equal to the number of seconds since 00:00 Sunday
the week of the date in question.

For example, 3/24/98 happens to be a Tuesday, so i need

secs since Sun 00:00 = 10.120 + ( 22 * 60 ) + ( 14 * 60 * 60 ) +
( 2 * 24 * 60 * 60 )

where here ( 2 * 24 * 60 * 60 ) is the number of seconds between
00:00 Sunday and 00:00 Tuesday.

Of course, I'd like a general solution that is intelligent enough to
know what day of the week it is based on the date alone...

Anyone else out there have a "gps_time_week" function handy?
