Beukie Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks AZJIO, unfortunately the answer is not in that post. The reason why a I started this post is that I depend on an application that is depending on inputs from multiple stations among which are virtual stations. If the timedate format from those stations is not alike the (external) application, all dates get corrupted where month and day can not be swapped, in cases where month and day can be swapped the record data is set wrong (e.g. June 1st (6/1) becomes january 6th (1/6)) Rebooting the uploading stations or updating the O.S. (various Win.) have shown the timedate format can be changed without the operator being aware. Since the application is an external application I can not add any input filter, But I can have all stations that send data have run an autorun exe at startup to check the timedate format. (Besides other measures we've taken, an extra layer of being certain all is set correct) Edited June 24, 2013 by Beukie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orbs Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) edit: i must have missed your last paragraph - what you state there is a very bad idea. 1) it will not work, 2) it will cripple other functionality of your systems. if you must, force date format by group policy or such (i think even simple LGPO would do nicely). do not alter it on startup. quit and dirty, if your application works with the "short date format": this function will return 1 if system date format is DD/MM/YYYY this function will return 2 if system date format is MM/DD/YYYY you can adopt it to other formats as you see fit: Func SysDateFormat() Local $s=_DateTimeFormat('2000/12/31',2) Switch StringLeft($s,2) Case '31' Return 1 Case '12' Return 2 Case Else Return 0 EndSwitch EndFunc Edited June 24, 2013 by orbs Signature - my forum contributions: Spoiler UDF: LFN - support for long file names (over 260 characters) InputImpose - impose valid characters in an input control TimeConvert - convert UTC to/from local time and/or reformat the string representation AMF - accept multiple files from Windows Explorer context menu DateDuration - literal description of the difference between given dates Apps: Touch - set the "modified" timestamp of a file to current time Show For Files - tray menu to show/hide files extensions, hidden & system files, and selection checkboxes SPDiff - Single-Pane Text Diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myicq Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I have interest in this subject, and have asked a few questions in the thread mentioned. As far as I can see, your answer IS in the thread. timedate format, timezone, language etc can all be retrieved from LCINFO. You can try to adapt or simply define one format. Definitions is always better as I see it, as there are many different combinations possible. I am just a hobby programmer, and nothing great to publish right now.
