os.time() - AlexLV - 04.12.2018

Hello,

can't find correct answer, think LUA guru can help..

now = os.time() returns me 1543929730

How correct understand this value? How convert to normal time? (hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds?) If I want to work with minutes, or seconds, how convert this value? Is it UNIX time stamp? Please explain a little, need to use in different timers.

Sorry for basic questions just learning LUA.

It is UNIX timestamp, number of seconds from January 1st, 1970. You can use os.date(fmt, time) to convert to human-readable date. If you need a relative value (hours, minutes etc between two timestamps) then you need to convert manually using / and % math operators.

Ok, thanks, will study more deeply.

Hi admin, is there any way to get UNIX 13-digit timestamp rather than the 10-digit?

I assume you need this: os.microtime()

No sir, it produce the same result

Code:

Code:
-- os.time() -- 10-digit timestamp

os_time = os.time()

log('os_time: '..os_time)

-- os.microtime()

os_micro = os.microtime()

log('os_microtime: '..os_micro)

Result:

Code:
os time 13-digit try 11.03.2023 18:45:48

* string: os_time: 1678556748

os time 13-digit try 11.03.2023 18:45:48

* string: os_microtime: 1678556748

Use this:

Code:
tsec, tusec = os.microtime()

tmsec = tsec * 1000 + math.floor(tusec / 1000)

log(tmsec)

It worked, thanks
