Time Format

[tomnord]

Hello, could anybody tell me how to format LM time to this format and vise versa?

Code:

/Date(1670926903419+0100)/

It's a timestamp in milliseconds with timezone.
Current date/time to string conversion:

Code:

tz = os.date('%z')
ts, tu = os.microtime()

str = string.format('/Date(%d%03d%s)/', ts, tu / 1000, tz)
log(str)

Convert string to date/time:

Code:

str = '/Date(1670926903419+0100)/'

time = tonumber(str:match('%d+'))

ts = math.floor(time / 1000) -- timestamp in seconds
tm = time % 1000 -- millisecond part of the timestamp

date = os.date('%c', ts) -- readable date from timestamp

log(date, ts, tm)

Thanks!

And if I wanted to at for example 24h to the "str" string, to use as a from-to range?

You can add 86400 to ts variable.
