I was looking for converting a human readable date (e.g. 24 NOV 7:27pm 2022) into a Unix Timestamp / Epoch value.
I have looked this up for Roblox/Lua and found a very handy website called Epoch Converter but Lua is missing from the list of languages on how to convert a human-readable date to epoch.
os.time() returns a unix aka epoch
But how do i use os.time with a custom date?
what do you mean by saying custom date
Using a custom date and converting it into a Unix timestamp, for example:
You were correct! I did some more digging into the os.time() function and you can parse a table through it with the date and time info and it will return with the unix timestamp! Funny how it didnt mention it on the website though.
