Use OS.Time. i have forgotten its functions though it’s used to convert but figure out the functions i guess

#3

Or you could just do string.len()

#4

You can use DateTime.fromIsoDate(IsoDate) and DateTime.UnixTimestampMillis

Do you know the format name of this timestamp that i post? Because it has like Z, T etc

#6

I think your solution is right, because I think it’s ISO.

#7

I know this is not what I asked, well I already put yours as solution, but do you know how to compare DateTime?

#8

If you are trying to compare ISO to seconds, you can do DateTime.fromisoDate(IsoDate).UnixTimestamp - Seconds

#9

No, i wanna compare like the datetime of that iso to date time now, can I?

#10

Yes you can do
DateTime.now().UnixTimestamp - DateTime.fromisoDate(IsoDate).UnixTimestamp

#11

And that resulting in seconds right, is there any like instant way to format it to years etc or you have to do it manually?

#12

How I know is using os time, but I dont exactly know how to convert this seconds into year month day etc

#13

You can do DateTime.fromUnixTimestamp(Seconds):ToUniversalTime or :ToLocalTime and it should return

Ah so when i get the result
i can make it print(DateTime.fromUnixTimestamp(Result):ToUniversalTime) or yeah toLocalTime
Yes?

#15

Yes, that will print out the table I sent above

#16

It has error
{
[“Day”] = 25,
[“Hour”] = 22,
[“Millisecond”] = 0,
[“Minute”] = 2,
[“Month”] = 10,
[“Second”] = 39,
[“Year”] = 1970

it gives me this result.

#17

How to make it the year -1970, because I think why Year = 1970 because yeah unix started from 1970

#18

Are you trying to get the date of the ISO, if yes don’t minus the result.

This is because you are doing CurrentTime - ISO
