I use ACDSee 4 for mac and the date format of the exif info = dd-mm-yyyy
This makes perfect sense, because I live in Holland and we use this date notation.
but this is getting a issue when I want to batch rename files using the exif date and time, it's the wrong format if I want to order the filenames.
I can change the regional settings to Canada in my mac system preferences, that works accept I don't want to use AM/PM but 24hr format.
And if I quit ACDSee I need to revert back to the dutch date notation.
My question is:
Is there a bash or apple script that sets the date format to yyyy-mm-dd and 24h time format.
And opens ACDSee.
And when I close ACDSee it reverts back to dd-mm-yyyy ?

I have to get the max payment date on an invoice and I am having trouble with the date format. I do not need the max in this formula as I am using the format in a reporting tool that is pulling the max from what it finds for me.
Using "to_char({datefield},'mm/dd/yyyy')" works for displaying that date the way we would like BUT when you use summary function MAX it does not pull the correct date because it is looking at a string and not a date (it will think 12/3/21 is larger than 3/2/22).
Another thing I have tried is trunc - "trunc({datefield})" which gives us the correct max date but it changes the formatting. For example if the date prior to the formula being applied is "8/12/21 12:00:00:000" the trunc formula will display it as 12-08-21 which is horribly wrong.
Long story short is I need a way to change a date/time to date with the format of 'mmmm/dd/yyyy' WITHOUT converting it to a string with something like to_char. Thank you!!!!
A DATE is a binary data type consisting of 7 bytes representing: century, year-of-century, month, day, hour, minute and second. It ALWAYS has all of those components and it is NEVER stored with any (human-readable) format.
What you are seeing when a date is displayed is the client application you are using to access the database making a decision to be helpful to you, the user, and display the binary DATE provided by the database in a human-readable format.
If you want to change how the DATE is displayed then you either need to:
Change the settings on the client application that controls how it formats dates when it displays them to you; or
Change the data-type so that it is no longer a DATE (which does not have a format) to a data type where the values of the date can be formatted (such as a string). You can do this using TO_CHAR.
If you want to find the maximum then do it BEFORE applying the formatting:
SELECT TO_CHAR(MAX({datefield}),'mm/dd/yyyy')
FROM your_table;
I have a date value mm/dd/yyyy format in visual FoxPro. while fetching I want to convert it to mm/dd/yy.
Want to know how we can achive this.
Your question is not clear. A date field is always stored as a 'date' regardless of the display format. What you are saying is a display format. You can achieve it in multiple ways. ie:
set century off && default
set date MDY
or:
set century off
set date AMERICAN && default
If what you meant is just to use 2 digits for century actually it is the default, if changed in your config.fpw then simply use:
set century off
Note: Both "set century" and "set date" are scoped to current data session.
This is what i'm trying to do:
I want to create a simple shell script that checks the current timezone in the UK.
i.e. BST or GMT.
I only can display the time for the current timezone the UK is in. i.e. UK is in GMT right now and I can only display that time. [TZ=GMT date]
Please note: I do not wish to permanently modify the UNIX time zone on the server (currently CET)
Based on that I need to do some calculations (which I'm fine with)
I have already searched and I cannot find anything specific to this problem. Thank you for your help
To get the date for a particular timezone, you can do:
TZ=GMT date
(Or date +%s if you want epoch format, which is also TZ independent, but altogether friendlier for calculations. ).
For what it is now, relative time I think it's as simple as:
TZ=Europe/London date
Which I think should cause your system to report BST/GMT appropriately.
If you want it to specifically report the offset, you can use the %z format specifier:
TZ=Europe/London date +"%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S %z"
In TeamCity 6.0.3, is there a way to set the time format to show 12-hour time format instead of 24-hour time format? For example, I would like times to show 2:00 PM instead of 14:00. I found the user-specific setting to show time in the user's timezone but this still displays time in 24-hour format.
I'm afraid, we don't provide such a possibility.
I have used date picker in my iPad App but the output of date is coming as
2011-03-07 06:07:03 +0000
Is there any way to format the time? The above time output is shown when i gave input time as 11:35 AM
Have a look at NSDateFormatter. There's also a date formatting guide.
