Lenny | Is there an API call or vb function that can retrieve the Unix Time? I've only found c++ libraries that have it available... | April 7, 2004, 3:35 AM |
Noodlez | You can use the Format() function. Example: [code] Format$(MyTime,"hh:mm:ss") [/code] | April 7, 2004, 5:11 AM |
Lenny | Unix time is the number seconds since Jan 1st, 1970 Midnight | April 7, 2004, 5:26 AM |
Noodlez | Oh, gah. WebBot requires that time (IIRC). You have to write your own function for it. | April 7, 2004, 5:44 AM |
Telos | Its something like DateDiff( Now, "s", #1/1/1970# ) The difference in seconds between now and January 1st 1970 | April 7, 2004, 12:48 PM |
iago | What format does "now" return the time as? If it's nanoseconds since 1700 or whatever, I have a function that will convert that to seconds since 1970 that I can post. | April 7, 2004, 4:40 PM |

Lenny | Thanks, I didnt know there was such a vb function... | April 8, 2004, 3:23 AM |
CMallette | Unix Time is the amount of seconds since Jan 1st, 1970 GMT. If the computer using DateDiff("s", #1/1/1970#, Now) is not in GMT timezone, the timestamp will be off by some hours. | April 12, 2004, 11:08 PM |
