Hi Kerry ,
You can from a dateObject (which is in a standard format) to get the
year/month/dayseconds from midnight.
dateObj= (the systemDate)
or dateObj = date(2004, 12, 31)
or dateObj = date("20041231")
or if you want to include hours/minutes/seconds, it seems that you
have to set the seconds property after you create the date object.
dateObj = date(2004, 12, 31)
t = hour * 3600 + mins * 60 + seconds
dateObj.seconds = t
The you can use dot syntax to get the bits
year = dateObj.year
month = dateObj.month
day = dateObj.day
Getting the hour and minutes involves using the .seconds property (at
least with MX, I dont know if it has changed with MX2004)
t = dateParam.seconds
hr = t/3600 -- 24 hour format
mins = (t/60) - (hr*60)
sec = t mod 60
Then you can format the date string how ever you like. If you're
interested, I wrote a script to mimick PHP's date formating
http://www.lingoworkshop.com/code/classes/scripts/dateLib.ls
eg.
d = the systemDate
put GetDateStr("jS of F Y, \a\\t g:i:s a", d)
-- "28th of February 2005, at 11:43:37 am"

Is there a dot-syntax way of getting the year, month, and day? I
can get
it by parsing _system.date(), but the year/month/day order depends on
the system's country settings.
Also, is there a way to get the time in 24-hour format? i.e., 17:05:32
instead of 5:05:32 pm?
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
