//echo -a $ctime

Echo the $ctime of a specfic date and time to the active window
 
−
//echo -a $ctime(Thursday 2003-01-09 21:16)
 
−
 
 
−
Accepts a variety of formats, but n/n/n string is *always* day/month/year format:
 
−
//echo -a $ctime(January 1 1970 00:00:00) $ctime(3rd August 1987 3:46pm) $ctime(21/4/72 1:30:37) $ctime(Wed 1998-3-27 21:16)
 
−
 
 
−
When text is a date only, without a time, the $ctime returned is for the current time on that day.
 
  
−
$ctime returned for a fixed time string varies according to your computer's timezone and daylight saving settings:
+
'''Echo the $ctime of a specfic date and time to the active window'''
−
//echo -a Regardless of timezone/daylight settings $ctime(2/1/70 0:0) = 86400 + $timezone + $daylight

<source lang="mIRC">//echo -a $ctime(Thursday 2003-01-09 21:16)</source>

Prior to 7.52 beta, max valid ctime as input to $asctime is 2^32-1, but max timestring as input to $ctime is 2^32-2:
 
−
//echo -a $ctime(Mon Jan 18 21:14:06 2038) is the max ctime returned from number string
 
−
 
 
−
With introduction of 64bit time related variables, the max time string is the time string which returns 32535244798.
 
−
For USA Pacific zone this is $ctime(31/12/3000 23:59:58) and varies by an hour +east or -west of that zone.
 
−
 
 
−
From v7.37 through v7.52, returns ctime too high by 1 month when time string is the last second of any year:
 
−
//var %i 1970 | while (%i isnum 1970-2038) { var %a $ctime(31/12/ $+ %i 23:59:59 ) | if (*Jan 31 23:59:59* !iswm $asctime(%a)) echo -a year %i vs $v2 | inc %i }
