Cannot figure out local to GMT time!

[Buckw1]

I have tried every script I coul dfind related to GMT in these forums...and I just can;t get my head around the code!

I know I need this to figure out local timezone:

$a1 = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones\" _
& RegRead ('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\TimeZoneInformation','StandardName'),'Display')
$a1=StringMid($a1,6,2)*_Iif(StringMid($a1,5,1)='+',1,-1)

and this should return the GMT time but it does not..

$sNewDate = _DateAdd( 'h',$a1, _NowCalc())
MsgBox( 4096, "", "Current GMT time : " & $sNewDate )

I want local time to UTC conversion. What am I missing?

According to example given in Beta help file this code should show a change in minutes. It does not on my PC. Try and let me know.

#include <Date.au3>
$sNewDate = _DateAdd( 'n' ,5, _NowCalc() )
MsgBox( 4096, "", "Current time: " & _NowCalc()&" after adding 5 minutes " & $sNewDate)

Works for me ....

Hi,

Not on mine though;

"Current time: 2006/07/02 19:18:14 after adding 5 minutes 2006/07/02 19:18:14"

Months years and days and weeks work...

And Days and hours both add to days!

And mins and secs not working!

3.1.1.127 was still OK, but 3.1.1.128 is giving this problem...

Will investigate...

For some reason this test in _TicksToTime() now fails in the latest release:

Glad I found a bug Fix works as intended. Thanks.

BTW, the issue with requiring the "> 0" is not exclusive to this function. It shows itself in most commands now.

Can you explain what you mean and which function is wrong ?
