Convert to Date and Time

[Winsor Hoang]

Hi,

 Please help me with a script that will convert the following MT4 date to regular date i.e. day/month/year

 

start_date=1388534400
			end_date=1415059200 many thanks

If you're happy to accept their format, take a look at TimeToString().

Otherwise, take a look at the MqlDateTime structure and TimeToStruct() which will give more flexibility on the output format.

Depends really on what you plan to do with the data, and the context of your question.

waterhorse: MT4 date to regular date i.e. day/month/year

1. honest_knave: TimeToString().

2. variations like

   string DDMMYYYY(datetime d){ // 01/01/2015
      return Stringformat("%02i/%02i/%i" TimeDay(d), TimeMonth(d), TimeYear(d) );
   }
   string DMYY(datetime d){   // 1/1/15
      return Stringformat("%i/%i/%02i" TimeDay(d), TimeMonth(d), TimeYear(d) % 100 );
   }
   :
   string c = StringFormat("From %s to %s", DDMMYYYY(start_date), DDMMYYYY(end_date));
