RE: convertion of date time to string

you should check out the DateTimeUtil class, it has several methods to manipulate date/time. Especially the DateTimeUtil::toFormattedStr method will help you out.

This code will print 2015-12-04T09:59:24, is that close enough?

static void DateTest(Args _args) { UtcDateTime dateTime = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime(); ; print DateTimeUtil::toStr(dateTime); pause; }

Hi,

if you need a special format, you can try System.DateTime.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us//library/8kb3ddd4%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

static void SystemDateTime(Args _args) { UtcDateTime dateTime = DateTimeUtil::getSystemDateTime(); System.DateTime sysDateTime; ; sysDateTime = dateTime; print sysDateTime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"); print sysDateTime.ToString("MM/dd/yy H:mm:ss zzz"); pause; }

RE: convertion of date time to string

Thanks Rudi Hansen,

I was looking to convert a date field to string format "2018-04-11T14:26:04"

utcdatetime datetime1 = DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset(
DateTimeUtil::newDateTime(MYDATEFIELD, 0),
DateTimeUtil::getClientMachineTimeZone());

DateTimeUtil::toStr(datetime1)

Thanks
