Milliseconds since 1970 Function
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Milliseconds since 1970 Function

| Millisecs() returns the time that the pc has been turned on, doesn't it? Is there a function for the 'ms since jan 1st 1970' laying around? |

| There's code in the code archives that tells you how many days have passed between two given dates. Calculating the number of seconds from that would be relatively trivial. Calculating the milliseconds might be an issue as I don't think that even a Long could hold such a value. [edit] http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1647 |

| I'm sure Brucey's DateTime mod covers that. http://brucey.net/programming/blitz/modules/datetime/datetime.zip |

Thanks...although a long should have no problem holding that value - but without preicion milliseconds, there'd be no need for anything lower than a second. I'm sure Brucey's DateTime mod covers that. http://brucey.net/programming/blitz/modules/datetime/datetime.zip Yeah I have all bruceys modules :) I tend to download them and forget to check through them to see what other capabilities I can have. It didn't have exactly what I wanted...the 1970 function was there, but only for filetimes. However thanks to built-in non-delimitered return strings with the date system I had no problem scrounging something together. Thanks folks. |
