@HOUR @MIN @SEC

A timestamp is the seconds that have gone since the ?. ?. 1970. The date macros don´t help me.

Thanks anyway.

Do what? What exactly are you wanting... what stands for ?. ?. 1970? I dont understand how that relates to a timestamp.

Not sure if that is always the meaning of timestamp ...

If you want the know the seconds elapsed since a given date/time then use the Datenew.au3 from my autoit3 stuff page and use command:

_DateDiff("s", $sStartDate, $sEndDate)

Like JdeB said:

@HOUR @MIN @SEC

Will give you a timestamp

You could place this in a variable also:

$timestamp = @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC

Maybe you're looking for something different?

Please ... Elaborate

I mean unix timestamps. I don´t really remember the correct date (LOL), but it was when unix was created.

Thank you, I will look for that file.

Sry, I meant unix timestamp. In Germany, we just say timestamp to it.

He's looking for the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch commonly used for computers, January 1, 1970 00:00:00 (Midnight).

Edit: Added time to the date.

Thanks Valik.

That being the case...

You can use the macros and just subtract the epoch from the timestamp.

You lost me.... how would you do that ??

I know the _DateDiff() should be able to do it, but you make it sound like it is simple ...

[Valik]

It is simple...

#include <DateNew.au3>
$EPOCH = "1970/01/01 00:00:00"
$NOW = _NowCalc()
$time = _DateDiff("s", $EPOCH, $NOW)
MsgBox(4096, "", $time)

Edit: Replaced macro use with _NowCalc() and added #include directive.

[JSThePatriot]

That is correct. Though I probably wouldnt have done the so easy part of just using your DateDiff function as I generally like writing my own stuff

Easy Smeazy Thanks Valik for spelling it out for us.

@Valik, i knew how... just liked the way JS made it sound sooooo easy ....

I tend to do that.

I know.... But tryuing to keep an open mind to others when it really can be done in a simple way ... so thats why i said : Show me ....

[Valik]

Most things are simple if you know what you're doing.

haha... That will go into your quotes for sure.

[JSThePatriot]

BTW, I am still working on the whole quotes deal. I cant wait till I get some more time. I think it will be big

Thread Revival. It seems that the sources used in this thread have long since died and I would like this functionality. Preferabbly in pure autoit(no dll calls or such)

[dunno]

It is simple...

#include <DateNew.au3>
$EPOCH = "1970/01/01 00:00:00"
$NOW = _NowCalc()
$time = _DateDiff("s", $EPOCH, $NOW)
MsgBox(4096, "", $time)

Edit: Replaced macro use with _NowCalc() and added #include directive.

That's great! But how can I "retranslate" a unix timestamp into two variable: $time (for the time) and $date (for the date)?
