epoch

so I give up...been trying to do this all day; I have a string that supplies a date and time in the format dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm ( 04/12/2012 07:00 ). I need to turn that into an Epoch date so I can do some calculations upon it. I cannot modify the format in which the date time is sent to me. JavaScript or jQuery is fine. JavaScript dates are internally stored as milliseconds since epoch. You just need to convert it to a number, e.g. with the unary + operator, to get them. Or you can use the .getTime method . The harder will be parsing your date string. You likely will use a regex to extract the

I was able to find example code to get the current timestamp in Linux Epoch (Seconds since Midnight Jan 1st 1970), however I am having trouble finding an example as to how to calculate what the Epoch will be in the future, say for example 10 minutes from now, so how can I calculate a future time in Linux Epoch? This extension method should do the job: private static double GetUnixEpoch(this DateTime dateTime) { var unixTime = dateTime.ToUniversalTime() - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc); return unixTime.TotalSeconds; } And you can use it as such: var unixTime1 = DateTime.Now

The context is that there is an existing application in our product which generates and sends the EPOCH number to an existing oracle procedure & vice versa. It works in that procedure using something like this SELECT UTC_TO_DATE (1463533832) FROM DUAL SELECT date_to_utc(creation_date) FROM mytable When I tried these queries it does work for me as well with Oracle 10g server (and oracle sql developer 4.x if that matters). In the existing procedure the requirement was to save the value as date itself (time component was irrelevant), however in the new requirement I have to convert unix EPOCH

I'm trying to get the number of days, weeks, months since Epoch in Java. The Java Calendar class offers things like calendar.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_YEAR), or Calendar.get(GregorianCalendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR), which is a good start but it doesn't do exactly what I need. Is there an elegant way to do this in Java? You can use the Joda Time library to do this pretty easily - I use it for anything time related other than using the standard Java Date and Calendar classes. Take a look at the example below using the library: MutableDateTime epoch = new MutableDateTime(); epoch.setDate(0); //Set to

Unix timestamps are signed 32 bit integers (64 bit on some systems today, or so I understand). On some software products this allows you to use dates going back as far as 1903 or so. However, when I try the following: git commit -m "this is a test commit" --date="1960-04-07 18:00:00" I receive an "fatal: invalid date format" error. This isn't very practical (I'm not a time-traveler), but I've been wondering about using git for historical purposes. Can this be forced with a git plumbing command? On a related note: does git always use a 32 bit timestamp, or does this depend on the environment it

I have the following table: SQL> desc recording Name Null? Type -------------------- -------- ------ CAPTUREID NOT NULL NUMBER(9) STARTDATE NOT NULL DATE ENDDATE DATE STATE NUMBER(1) ESTIMATEDENDTIME NUMBER(13) Here's a single line for this table: SQL> select * from recording where CAPTUREID=14760457; CAPTUREID STARTDATE ENDDATE STATE ESTIMATEDENDTIME ---------- ------------------- ------------------- ----- ---------------- 14760457 29/09/2010 08:50:01 29/09/2010 09:52:04 0 1285746720000 I'm pretty sure that this has been asked so many times before, but all the solutions I've found so far didn
