Epoch time
Guys, i have a question...
I have 2 sets of data say "a" and "a+1" which has values in epoch time.. Question is... if i were to get the time difference where diff = "a+1" - "a" can i convert it back to real time duration after the subtraction... OR i need to convert em first before i do the subtraction to get the real time results in seconds and minutes... Appreciate some light here... thanks  |

epoch time (for UNIX) is given as the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 January 1, 1970. It can be converted to all kinds of formats.
Show us one of your data items. To answer your question - if they are in a format that looks like this: 1152692657 then they are in the primary format. Subtract first, then convert. Otherwise, convert to seconds elapsed since Jan 1 1970, then subtract, then convert back to elapsed time. |
