FileSetTime is not working correctly for me

[Champak]

I'm grabbing the name of a file, which is the date and time, and setting it to the modified date. The problem is it is the date gets set properly but the time doesn't...it's off by -1hr, and I'm verifying it beforehand.

The input format varies as 2022-02-02_083224_P.jpg ----- YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS

 

Func _Set_File_Dates($sFileSelect)

    $aDirContent_New = StringSplit($sFileSelect, "|", 2)

    For $i = UBound($aDirContent_New) - 1 to 0 Step - 1

        $FileNameDate = StringSplit($aDirContent_New[$i], "\", 2)

        $aFileNameDate = StringSplit($FileNameDate[UBound($FileNameDate)-1], "_", 2)

        $NewTime = $aFileNameDate[0] & $aFileNameDate[1]

        $NewTime = StringRegExp($NewTime, "\d+", 3)

        _ArrayDisplay($NewTime)

        $NewTime = $NewTime[0] & $NewTime[1] & $NewTime[2]

        MsgBox(0,"new date", $NewTime)

        FileSetTime ( $aDirContent_New[$i], $NewTime, $FT_MODIFIED)

    Next
;Exit
EndFunc

Any help?

Better use _DateAdd, as just adding 1 hour might cause problems, when the hour is 23.

thanks for the suggestion
It is also quite problematic since it cannot understand whether the entered date is summer or winter time.
I thought that I would manage it with a small correction, but it was not so simple since the DST date is not fixed and every year is different.

so the best solution (easiest) is the one he indicated pixelsearch  in the link

Thanks all.
