I have the date and time in a variable, however, it is in UTC ticks. How can I get the exact date and time from this variable?

Ex. $StartTime = "127927296000000000" ;Which is actually May 21, 2006 8:00PM

How can I convert this??

Is there some reason I'm just not understanding this?? :)

What about 

Dim $mArray [13]

$mArray[01]="January"
$mArray[02]="February"
$mArray[03]="March"
$mArray[04]="April"
$mArray[05]="May"
$mArray[06]="June"
$mArray[07]="July"
$mArray[08]="August"
$mArray[09]="September"
$mArray[10]="October"
$mArray[11]="November"
$mArray[12]="December"


$startTime = $mArray[@mon] &" " &  @Mday & ", "  & @year

MsgBox (0,"Date",$startTime)

Ohh hang on I left the time out. Does it need to be am/pm or is 24hour OK?

Sorry I thought you just wanted the date and time, which is below with the time with AM and PM but it sounds like this is not waht you want.

You'd be better off posting your script

Dim $mArray [13]

$mArray[01]="January"
$mArray[02]="February"
$mArray[03]="March"
$mArray[04]="April"
$mArray[05]="May"
$mArray[06]="June"
$mArray[07]="July"
$mArray[08]="August"
$mArray[09]="September"
$mArray[10]="October"
$mArray[11]="November"
$mArray[12]="December"

If @hour > 12 then 
    $time = @hour -12 & ":" & @min & " PM"
Else 
    $time = @hour  & ":" & @min & " AM"
    Endif

$startTime = $mArray[@mon] &" " &  @Mday & ", "  & @year & " " & $time

MsgBox (0,"Date",$startTime)

is _TimeToTicks and _TicksToTime functions what you require, check out the beta help file

Are you sure about:

- The number of zero's in the UTC ticks value?

- The result , should that be 8:00 PM ?

#include<date.au3>
 $StartTime = "12792729600000"  ; Remove 4 zero's  
 $sNewDate = _DateAdd( 's',Number($StartTime)/1000, "1601/01/01 00:00:00")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(4) : $sNewDate = ' & $sNewDate & @lf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @lf) ;### Debug Console

Are you sure about:

- The result , should that be 8:00 PM ?

I am sure about the trailing zero's, however, I have seen people divide this number by 10,000 to remove them before working with the number.

I am pretty sure about the time being 8PM.

If I make that change to the Date.au3 file, then the above code you posted will work?

is _TimeToTicks and _TicksToTime functions what you require, check out the beta help file

Unfortunately, these functions only handle hours, minutes and seconds; I need to decipher days and the month as well.

maybe

$file = "XPClean-Menu.exe"

#include<date.au3>

$t = FileGetTime($file, 1)
If Not @error Then
    $startdate = $t[0] & "/" & $t[1] & "/" & $t[2] & " " & $t[3] & ":" & $t[4] & ":" & $t[5]
    If _DateDiff("D", $startdate, _NowCalc()) > 30 Then
        MsgBox(0, "*XPClean Menu*", "Your registration period has expired.")
        Exit
    EndIf
Else
    $ans = _DateDiff("D", $startdate, _NowCalc())
    MsgBox(0, $ans & " days", _NowCalc() & @CRLF & $startdate)
EndIf

I get this after making the change: "2006/05/22 00:00:00" . Could that be in GMT which still need to be translated to your own timezone?

UTC was initiated at the start of 1961. The TAI instant 1961-01-01T00:00:01.422818 exactly was identified as UTC instant 1961-01-01T00:00:00.000000 exactly, and UTC ticked exactly one second for every 1.000000015 s of TAI. Time steps and rate changes occurred every few months thereafter. These "elastic seconds" and small jumps (most commonly of 0.1 TAI seconds) were intended to permit a very close approximation of UT2, within around 0.1 s.

Actually, that looks correct!!

UTC time is EST +4

So, if it's 8PM in CT (where I am) then it's 12AM UTC

I think I'll make a copy of Date.au3 before making the change.

Let me see if I can replicate what you guys have done.
