As anyone written a script to convert this to seconds? I need to compare
such a date with the time right now in LiveCode(server) and the only way
is via seconds.
This should work:
function convertDate pDate
put char 1 to offset("T",pDate)-1 of pDate into tDate
put char offset("T",pDate)+1 to -4 of pDate into tTime
put char -3 to -1 of pDate into tHrOffset
replace "-" with slash in tDate
set the itemdel to slash
put item 2 to 3 of tDate & slash & item 1 of tDate into tDate
set the itemdel to comma
convert (tDate && tTime) to dateitems
add tHrOffset to item 4 of it
convert it to seconds
return it
end convertDate
If the time zone includes minutes, you'd need to extract those and add
them to the minutes item of the dateitems, just before or after the
hrOffset is added.
