strftime reference for Win32by holli (Abbot) |

The Posix-module has a very nice function called strftime() that is capable of formatting dates and times to a human readable format. But ... the manpage is not very descriptive. It tells you nothing about the meanings of the parameters in the format string. Unix/Linux users can read about them by typing (thanks blokhead for advising me on that), but Windows users are lost. Therefore, in the hope it will help somebody*, i post this little script, that can serve both as a reference and as an example.
Notes: The parameters %U and %W, are not identical. %U starts counting the Week Of Year at sundays, %W starts counting on mondays. The %p parameter can be empty, depending on the locale of the system. *and for my own convenience Update: corrected typo for %M Update: corrected typo for %I (thanks bmann) Update: retitled node from "strftime reference" to "strftime reference for win32" holli, /regexed monk/
