parseVersion static method
Parses the given version
into a double.
twoDigits
whether to interpret "16.3" as 16.03. If false (default), it is interpreted as 16.3.
Implementation
static double parseVersion(String version,
{String separator='.', bool twoDigits = false}) {
//=> not necessary until we'd like parse MacOS's version
try {
int j = version.indexOf(separator);
if (j >= 0) {
final k = version.indexOf(separator, ++j);
if (k >= 0)
version = version.substring(0, k);
if (twoDigits && version.length == j + 1) //only one decimal, e.g., 12.3
version = version.substring(0, j) + "0" + version.substring(j);
if (separator != '.')
version = version.replaceAll(separator, '.');
}
return double.parse(version);
} catch (e) {
return 1.0; //ignore it
}
