Keywords: Converting binary dates
Question:
I have a date (2000:10:17) stored as a binary value in the Registry, where it appears as 32 30 30 30 3a 31 30 3a 31 37 00. I know how to extract it, but how can I convert the date back to human-readable format?Answer:
So how do you extract it. What function do you use. Assuming you get back32 30 30 30 3a 31 30 3a 31 37 00it might be:
a="32 30 30 30 3a 31 30 3a 31 37 00" cvt="123456789abcdef" count=Strlen(a) -2 a=Strlower(a) for xx=1 to count by 3 b1=Strindex(cvt,Strsub(a,xx,1),0,@fwdscan) b2=Strindex(cvt,Strsub(a,xx+1,1),0,@fwdscan) byte=b1*16+b2 char=Num2Char(byte) if xx==1 then datestring=char else datestring=Strcat(datestring,char) next Message(a,datestring)
