Code:
date -d "20181004 17:20:00" "+%s"
1538666400

works. Is that string stored in a variable? A file?

Hello Rudic, it is in a file as one of the column "20181004173050"

Example:

Code:
20181004172111
20181004172113
20181004172113
20181004172114
20181004172153
20181004171906
20181004171220
20181004172157
20181004172157
20181004172157

Can we convert it into seconds by any means ?

It is taking from db concatenating and then storing in a file like Integer format.

By any means, yes. Just insert a space a position 9, and colons at positions 11 and 13.
