I am trying to parse time using following code line
const fromAnchorDate = moment.tz('09:00 AM', "hh:mm A", "America/New_York").tz("America/New_York");
However, when I look at this object why does it show time as 1:00 AM in PST. Shouldn't it be 6 AM PST.

I have a use-case in which I want to convert an Epoch integer value into a specific Timezone time and a specific format,
Also, I want to convert a human-readable date time into epoch.
I am trying to use moment-tz for the timezone conversion.
I using a specific Epoch timestamp 1555296000 which is -
Monday, April 15, 2019 10:40:00 AM in Kuala Lampur Malaysia,
I am able to convert 2019-04-15 10:40:00 of Asia/Kuala_Lumpur timezone into correct Unix.
But I am unable to convert 1555296000 into another timezone's unix,
i.e I wish to convert 1555296000 into equivalent YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss of Asia/Calcutta timezone.
Following is the code I'm trying to work with -
var moment = require('moment-timezone');
console.log("Convert from Asia/Kuala_Lumpur to Unix -> ", moment.tz("2019-04-15 10:40:00","Asia/Kuala_Lumpur").unix());
// Outputs - 1555296000
console.log("Epoch to Specific TimeZone and Format -> ",moment(1555296000).tz("Asia/Calcutta").format('YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss'));
// Outputs - 1970-01-19 05:31:36
// I want - 2019-04-15 08:10:00
Try this out
const moment = require("moment-timezone");
console.log(
moment
.unix(1555296000)
.tz("Asia/Calcutta")
.format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss")
);
2019-04-15 08:10:00 - "Asia/Calcutta" is 2019-04-15 10:40:00 - "Asia/Kuala_Lumpur"
I'm trying to generate a momentjs object of a certain timestamp in the current day of a specified location. For example:
const timeNow = moment().tz('Africa/Cairo')
const startTime = moment('10:00 am', 'HH:mm a')
const endTime = moment('2:30 pm', 'HH:mm a')
Printing the above 3 variables outputs this:
Fri, 12:31 am
Thu, 10:00 am
Thu, 02:30 pm
Where the first result is in fact the current time in Cairo, However the other two results are the day before. How can I change it so that they return the current day?
You can simply do:
moment.tz('Africa/Cairo') // <= Moment Object
One small info: whenever you'll get to see some javascript date in a browser that will be shown in your system's time-zone. As javascript Date is UTC, browsers will show accordingly. Use moment.format() to get string values.
I am trying to write a variable and the date and time on the same line to a file, which will simulate a log file.
Example: July 25 2018 6:00 pm - Variable contents here
So far I am able to write the variable to the file but I am unsure how to use the datetime library or other similar libraries. Some guidance would be appreciated.
Below is the current script.
import subprocess
import datetime
var = "test"
with open('auditlog.txt', 'a') as logfile:
logfile.write(var + "\n")
The fastest way I found is doing something like this:
import time
var = time.asctime()
print(var)
Result: Thu Jul 26 00:46:04 2018
If you want to change the placements of y/m/d etc. you can alternatively use this:
import time
var = time.strftime("%B %d %Y %H:%M pm", time.localtime())
print(var)
Result: July 26 2018 00:50 pm
Have a look here.
By the way, is the subprocess intended in your code? You don't need it to open/write to files. Also you should do logfile.close() in your code after you wrote to it.
When I am trying to receive mail from gmail, I get time in this format (Mon, 12 Jun 2017 10:29:07 +0530). I want to calculate time minus current time. How to do so?
var testDate = moment("Mon, 12 Jun 2017 10:29:07 +0530");
//Relative to time in human readble format
testDate.fromNow(); //3 days ago
You can simply call the moment constructor with the given Date format. moment.js is smart enough to parse it for you. To get the difference you can convert it into unix based time format and subtract it.
const givenTime = moment("Mon, 12 Jun 2017 10:29:07 +0530").unix()
const currentTime = moment().unix()
//Difference in milliseconds
const diff = givenTime - currentTime
Im using momentjs in nodejs app and trying to parse timestamp string with momentjs to compare two dates. My code is:
moment('11/04/2016 01:00:00', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss')
and the output is:
{ _date: Fri Nov 04 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time) }
But with the given format im expecting the return date to be Sun Apr 10 2016.
Seems like the format option is not working or im missing something
It works for me (moment version: 2.12.0)
var moment = require('moment')
var m = moment('11/04/2016 01:00:00', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss')
console.log(m.format('LLL')) // April 11, 2016 1:00 AM
Also changing days with months in both arguments works:
var m = moment('04/11/2016 01:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:ss') // same date as above
What version of moment are you using and how did you import it? How did you generate the output date? Is it just console.log?
(this should be a comment, but I wanted to add the code snippet)
Here's a sample code to return a string in your output format
var moment = require('moment');
var now = moment();
var date = moment('11/04/2016 01:00:00', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss');
console.log(now.format('ddd MMM D YYYY'));
console.log(date.format('ddd MMM D YYYY'));
Sorry it was my mistake. I've installed momentjs which is not the official moment package. After installing the moment package instead momentjs all is working as expected.
