Dates: ISO 8601
I need a handler to convert a Rev date into ISO 8601? From my library I have a rough and ready one to go the other way round: on date_Convert8601 @revisionDate -- was date_ConvertT replace T with return in revisionDate put line 1 of revisionDate into someDate put line 2 of revisionDate into someTime put last char of someTime into timeZoneThing delete last char of someTime replace - with comma in someDate set the itemdelimiter to . put item 1 of someTime into colonTime put item 2 of someTime into colonSeconds replace : with comma in colonTime set the itemdelimiter to comma put someDate into someDateItems put colonTime into item 4 of someDateItems put 0 into item 7 of someDateItems convert someDateItems to internet date delete word -1 of someDateItems convert someDateItems to internet date put someDateItems into revisionDate end date_Convert8601 But seem to have lost the other side of the equation ) ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi David, I need a handler to convert a Rev date into ISO 8601?

Re: Dates: ISO 8601
Hi Klaus - I was just thinking someone out there must have a ready made handler as it is real common format on the internet. I've given a go below - I include some info for reference: A common use could be []-[MM]-[DD]T[hh]:[mm]:[ss]±[hh]:[mm]. 1981-04-05T14:30:30-05:00, for example. Two good references: 1. http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Combined_representations So it's basically dateitems with dashes a T in the middle and a Z or bit from the internet time (UTC) at the end - not too clear on the timezone stuff. UTC If the time is in UTChttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time, it is very easy to show this. Simply add a 'Z' directly after the time, without a space. 09:30 UTC is therefore represented as 09:30Z or 0930Z. 14:45:15 UTC would be 14:45:15Z or 144515Z. [edithttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ISO_8601action=editsection=12 ] Other time zones Other time zones are specified by their *offset* from UTC, in the format ±[hh]:[mm], ±[hh][mm] or ±[hh]. So if the time being described is one hour ahead of UTC (such as the time in Berlinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlinduring the winter) the offset would be +01:00, +0100 or simply +01. This is appended to the time in the same way that 'Z' was above. Note that the offset is the actual offset from UTC, and does not include any information on daylight saving timehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time. Times expressed in local time for a user in Chicagohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicagowould be -06:00 for the winter (Central Standard Time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Standard_Time_Zone) and -05:00 for the summer (Central Daylight Timehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Daylight_Time_Zone). The following times all refer to the same moment: 18:30Z, 22:30+04, 1130-0700 and 15:00-03:30. So this seems to work: function date_Construct8601 someDate -- ie 1981-04-05T14:30:30-05:00 convert someDate to internet date put word -1 of somedate into utcOffset convert someDate to dateItems put item 1 to 3 of someDate into dateBit replace comma with - in dateBit put item 3 to 6 of somedate into timeBit replace comma with : in timeBit return dateBit T timeBit utcOffset end date_Construct8601 ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
