Convert seconds to dateItems

[Nakia]

Hi All,

I am using the "convert" function to convert a GPS time (UTC/GMT) into local time.
I am using the following code but I have found that it "seems" to apply the GMT offset of the host machine when it does the conversion and I need to be able to DISABLE this and just get it convert into GMT zero offset.

As an exmaple, tSeconds = 1365975270

Code: Select all

convert tSeconds from seconds to dateItems

The result I get is = "2013,4,15,7,34,30,2" according to an online converter this is the result when you convert to my local offset (GMT+10)

anyone got any ideas?

perhaps try using the internet date function so you can get the difference between the timezone and GMT and then do some quick math..

Agree with Shaosean : put word 6 of the internet date into tOffset
That's worked for me

Thanks guys, looked a bit painful at first but it all worked out okay...
