Is there any simple option to convert a U.S. TDateTime
value Apr 17, 2014 8:35:38 PM PDT to a European format looking like 2014-04-17 20:35:38?
EDIT:
I have a string containing raw date/time in U.S. format:
var s, new_s: string;
begin
s := 'Apr 17, 2014 8:35:38 PM PDT';
I want to somehow read/parse this string to a variable of TDateTime
type -or- just convert it to another string of the desired format:
new_s := MyConvertDateTimeSring(s);
// now new_s must be '2014-04-17 20:35:38';
end;
(Delphi XE4)
If you remove the TimeZone PDT from the string then you can use VarToDateTime
to convert the string into a TDateTime
value
var
LDateTimeStr : string;
LDateTime : TDateTime;
begin
LDateTimeStr := 'Apr 17, 2014 8:35:38 PM PDT';
LDateTime := VarToDateTime( Copy( LDateTimeStr, 1, 23 ) );
WriteLn( FormatDateTime( 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:nn:ss', LDateTime ) );
end;
The result will be
2014-04-17 20:35:38
