scan from string

[simon76]

Hi,

Why i can't get back the correct time under the yr 1970 instead of 7:59:59.000 AM 1/1/1970 always..

Attach with the vi

Do you mean you want Time followed by Date, instead of Date followed by Time?

That will depend on the order of your input - if time is first in the input, it will be first on the output. The format string only says how to interpret the information, not what order to put it in.

Formate Date/Time String could be your friend here...
