Question About Asp Now() Function How to display 24 hour time format

[jedipi 0]

I am learning asp currently.The learning environment is windows 2003 plus the builtin IIS.Time format in this machine is set to 24 hours format (hh:mm:ss).However, when i call the Now() function in a ASP script, the time it caught anddisplayed as "2005-7-29 7:32:40pm".Is there anyway to make it displayed in 24 hours format.??Just like this "2005-7-29 19:32:40"

I'm going to reply to this from a VB.NET perspective - but it should work with ASP.NET too - coz both employ same libraries.. almost.

 

You have to use the Format function to reformat your date time string.

 

For example,

Console.Writeln ( Format ( Now(), "hh:MM:ss tt" ) )

will produce an output in the AM/PM format - the tt part denotes the AM/PM. If you omit that, the time is shown in 24hour format. So your code should be...

 

Console.Writeln ( Format ( Now(), "hh:MM:ss" ) )

This should give you the desired output. Be careful, the minute part of the time has to be denoted with capital MM - the small mm stands for the month.

 

For example to get a complete date time in the ISO format, you should use a string like this:

Console.Writeln ( Format ( Now(), "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss" ) )

If you use mmmm instead of "mm" then you get the expanded month name in english - i.e. to get a display like 27 January, 200 you should use a format string like:

Console.Writeln ( Format ( Now(), "dd mmmm, yyyy" ) )

Hope tjhis helps.

Replace Console.WriteIn with document.Write

Also I forgot to mention last time,

 

hh:mm:ss tt gives you the output in 12hour format, where

hh = hour

mm = minutes

ss = seconds

tt = AM/PM

 

whereas,

HH:mm:ss gives you output in 24hour format. So the difference lies in CAPITAL "HH " and SMALL "hh"
