Let's say I have a list of different integers (either as integers, or as strings), such as:
1,2,100,84,12,109
I know with a fair degree of accuracy that this probably not a unix timestamp series. However, with the following series of numbers, I would estimate that it probably would be:
1446250200, 1446250220, 1446240220
Is there a good way to estimate whether a list of integers is most likely a unix timestamp series? I need to have a function like this for date parsing -- one which guesses whether the field is an integer or a timstamp (and if it guesses incorrectly the user can override that). What would this function look like?
