dayofmonth |
returns the day of the month as string.
|
dayofweek | returns the day of the week as string. |
hour | returns the hour as a string |
minute | returns the minute as a string |
month | returns the month as a string |
second | returns the second as a string |
year | returns the year as a string |
filltime | generates vector of time points starting from t with length n and granulation gran (default month). The difference between two timepoints is given by step. |
getlocalnow | getlocalnow returns the actual date and time with correction for the time zone, daylight savings and so on. The corrections are machine dependend. |
getnow | getnow returns the actual date and time in Greenwich time. |
settime |
settime generates from a set of vectors a vector of time points. The parameter yr (year) is necessary, the parameters mo (month), dy (day of month), hr (hour), mn (minute), sc (second) are optional. The granulation of the measurement can be changed with the command settimegran. Each value in the produced set of vectors describes the distance to a fixed point in time (usually 1.1.1900 0:00:00.0). The zero time can be changed with the command settimezero. The following example teaches you to be careful not to span too much time with a too small granulation (some kind of overflow/underflow problem).
|
settimegran | settimegran changes the granulation. Possible values for newgran are 1...7 (Seconds, minutes, hour, days, weeks, month, years) |
settimezero |
settimezero changes the fixed time point.
