Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Convert Timestamp in text to Serial Date-Time Post 303013102 by AshBax on Thursday 15th of February 2018 03:44:39 AM
Old 02-15-2018
I have other files already in this format, so I want to keep the formats the same.
In addition, i don't want to risk opening it in excel and seeing the formats change.


i've added a second line that (is getting closer but certainly no cigar in sight!)
Code:
 awk -F" "  '{$1/=86400;print}' old_file | new_file

and a 3rd line will take that line and
Code:
awk -F" "  '{$1+=25569 ;print}' old_file | new_file

but still struggling....
notably i want 20 decimal places (to take account of milliseconds)

xdiff_file_diff_binary - Alias of xdiff_file_bdiff

SYNOPSIS
bool xdiff_file_diff_binary (string $old_file, string $new_file, string $dest) DESCRIPTION
Makes a binary diff of two files and stores the result in a patch file. This function works with both text and binary files. Resulting patch file can be later applied using xdiff_file_bpatch(3). Starting with version 1.5.0 this function is an alias of xdiff_file_bdiff(3). PARAMETERS
o $old_file - Path to the first file. This file acts as "old" file. o $new_file - Path to the second file. This file acts as "new" file. o $dest - Path of the resulting patch file. Resulting file contains differences between "old" and "new" files. It is in binary format and is human-unreadable. RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 xdiff_file_diff_binary(3) example The following code makes binary diff of two archives. <?php $old_version = 'my_script_1.0.tgz'; $new_version = 'my_script_1.1.tgz'; xdiff_file_diff_binary($old_version, $new_version, 'my_script.bdiff'); ?> NOTES
Note Both files will be loaded into memory so ensure that your memory_limit is set high enough. SEE ALSO
