Default Timezone for NowCalc

[ParoXsitiC]

I am using information from people using AutoIT, one of the bits of information I am using is the current time. It's my understanding that _NowCalc() returns the time according to the users timezone. Instead, I'd rather have it all based on whatever timezone is picked. Like for example if its 2:00PM in cali, id want it to say 5:00PM in the function, because that would be the EST time.

You can use the following date/time functions. The example converts the local time to UTC but you can use _Date_Time_SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime to convert UTC to any timezone you like.

#include <date.au3>
$tLT = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()
ConsoleWrite("Current local date/time .: " & _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tLT) & @CRLF)
$tUTC = _Date_Time_TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime(DllStructGetPtr($tLT))
ConsoleWrite("Current UTC date/time .: " & _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tUTC) & @CRLF)

The $pTimeZone [optional] Pointer to a $tagTIME_ZONE_INFORMATION structure that specifies the time zone of interest. If

0, the function uses the currently active time zone. has me confused.

Whats an example of converting to eastern time? Is there any structure that has the common timezones done already?

Also I wanted the results to be in YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS

Couldn't find an example on the forum but google delivered some good links:

World Clock and the TimeZoneInformation

Time zones information

A script to extract the TZI information from the registry

Also I wanted the results to be in YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS

Change the script to:

#include <date.au3>
$tLT = _Date_Time_GetLocalTime()
ConsoleWrite]("Current local date/time .: " & _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tLT,1) & @CRLF)
$tUTC = _Date_Time_TzSpecificLocalTimeToSystemTime(DllStructGetPtr($tLT))
ConsoleWrite("Current UTC date/time .: " & _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tUTC,1) & @CRLF)

But please use at least AutoIt 3.6.6.0 for this to work.
