About getTimestamp.bat

[kero]

Dear dbenham,

as it turned out, getTimestamp.bat -
can handle the format 2016-11-14T08:09:58.886317071-08:00,
but can't handle the format 2016-11-14T16:09:58.886317071Z:
after

Code: Select all

for /f %%a in ('getTimestamp -D "^'%server_date%^'"') do set your_date=%%a

we get message "Invalid -D value"

(this is from "Periscope Downloader v2.1": batch-file, which uses getTimestamp.bat, - https://github.com/nikisby/periscope.tv).

Could you add to old good getTimestamp processing the specified format?

Thanks.

First suggestion is to try the last version of getTimestamp.bat, (v2.6), from here.

Alternatively, you could try the new incarnation, jTimestamp.bat from here.

If neither fix your issue, post back.

@Compo

tried: getTimestamp-v2.6 or jTimestamp - can't...

[ShadowThief]

Can't...?

Please delete this my topic, because it turned out that the cause of the error is not in the getTimestamp, but in the periscope downloader, - sorry!

Yes - Neither getTimestamp.bat nor jTimestamp.bat were designed to support ISO8601 format with the -D option. But it is a good idea. I am working on enhancing jTimestamp.bat now. I think I've got it, but I've got a whole lot of regression testing to do. I will post the updated version on the main jTimestamp thread.

it would be great!

[dbenham]

I've released version 2.0 of jTimestamp.bat with the new ISO8601 format support added to the -D option.

I am no longer developing getTimestamp.bat, so I will not add the feature there.

Thank you very much, Dave!

Could you also show how to right use jTimestamp to the input value from the initial post of this topic - "2016-11-14T16:09:58.886317071Z" ?

You're right - I missed, thanks you.

So now I have needful string:

for /f %%a in ('jTimestamp -D "ISO %date_time%"') do set your_date=%%a

Great work, Dave!
