Convert string date/time to seconds since 1900 (String class)
[Introduced in Sirius Mods 7.8]
StringToSeconds is an intrinsic function to convert a date/time string to seconds since 1900.
Syntax
%seconds = string:StringToSeconds( format, [[CentSpan=] number]) Throws InvalidDateString
Syntax terms
| %seconds | The float variable to receive the computed time since 1900. |
|---|---|
| string | The input date/time string. |
| format | The format of the date/time string. |
| CentSpan | See the CENTSPAN parameter. In Sirius Mods 7.9 and later, this is a name allowed parameter. For versions prior to 7.9, it is a positional parameter. |
Examples
This statement uses StringToSeconds and SecondsToString to convert a value in YYYYMMDDHHMISSIII format to the Month DAY, YYYY HH:MI:SS format:
printText {~='20110520173648965':stringToSeconds('YYYYMMDDHHMISSIII'):secondsToString('Month DAY, YYYY HH:MI:SS')}
The result is:
'20110520173648965':stringToSeconds('YYYYMMDDHHMISSIII'):secondsToString('Month DAY, YYYY HH:MI:SS')=May 20, 2011 17:36:48
