Thanks, I did not know about this before, but now it is inserted in my code and
works fine. :-)

So now I can just specify the pattern of data to be scanned using the y, m, h, n
and s letters.
But I am adding 20 on front of the telegram value because that uses only a
2-digit year and I had problems on my new RPiZero until I added the two yy in
front of the pattern making it a 4-char year and the 20 in front of the
telegram.

Then all works fine.
