Try isotimestamp. It formats the result of 6!:0 to a fixed format load'dates' isotimestamp 6!:0'' 2008-01-20 16:09:33.421
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Brand Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2008 15:39 To: [email protected] Subject: [Jprogramming] 6!:0 timestamps in January The phrases page for dates states that m0=: 6!:0 gives the system time stamp in the format "yyyy mm dd hh mm ss". But for January it gives "yyyy m dd hh mm ss" and some of the phrases for dealing with time stamps on the phrases page do not work correctly. E.g. this does not function correctly in January: m0 =. 6!:0 m3=: (':'"_) _6 _3} ": m3 m0'' 2008 1 20 21 1:3.:53 In that code, replacing ": with something more complicated might fix this. This is how far I can get with that: Suppose that the timestamp is: 2008 1 1 21 39 5.343 then: ts =. 2008 1 1 21 39 5.343 ts 2008 1 1 21 39 5.343 old =. ": old ts 2008 1 1 21 39 5.343 #old ts 20 has the problem that string length depends on what the month and day is (months 1 and 2 and days 1 to 9 are problems). Replacing the ": with this something like this (but opened): new =. [: ((]`([:'0'&,]))@.(1:=#)@":&.>) [: <"(0) ] new ts ┌────┬──┬── ;┬──┬──┬───γ 2;─┐ │2008│01│01│21│39│5.343│ └────┴──┴── ;┴──┴──┴───γ 2;─┘ #new ts 6 #&.> new ts ┌─┬─┬─┬─┬─┬ ;─┐ │4│2│2│2│2│5│ └─┴─┴─┴─┴─┴ ;─┘ would circumvent this problem and make the phrases work in January and on days before the 10th, but I cannot work out how to concatenate all of the contents of the boxes into a single string without the padding. E.g. if I do ,> new ts then it adds padding: ,> new ts 2008 01 01 21 39 5.343 # ,> new ts 30 How can I concatenate all of the strings in the boxes without adding the padding? I want to get a string of length: +/> #&.> new ts 17 If I could get that to work then I would replace phrases like: m3=: (':'"_) _6 _3} ": with m3=: (':'"_) _6 _3} new and hopefully they would function correctly for all possible values of 6!:0. __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
