Title: TDateTime RFC
Question: How to convert a RFC time string into TDateTime and vv.
Answer:
Conversion of date & time formats: RFC TDateTime (local & UNC)
RFC: e.g. 03.01.2001 05:45:00 -0500
TDateTime - RFC
use DateTimeToRfcTime(date, diff, gmt)
RFC - TDateTime
use RfcTimeToDateTime(time, gmt)
function DateTimeToRfcTime(
dt: TDateTime;
iDiff: integer;
blnGMT: boolean = false): string;
(*
Explanation:
iDiff is the local offset to GMT in minutes
if blnGMT then Result is UNC time else local time
e.g. local time zone: ET = GMT - 5hr = -300 minutes
dt is TDateTime of 3 Jan 2001 5:45am
blnGMT = true - Result = 'Wed, 03 Jan 2001 05:45:00 GMT'
blnGMT = false - Result = 'Wed, 03 Jan 2001 05:45:00 -0500'
