[SOLVED] Help with converting old date to current date

holygirl

Hey everybody!

        I have a set of numbers which represent the date and time in milliseconds. I'm converting them to human understandable form by using

@
int time_in_msecs = 1350891180000;
QDateTime timestamp;
timestamp.setMSecsSinceEpoch(1350891180000);
qDebug() << timestamp.toString(Qt::SystemLocaleLongDate);
@

I get the output as Monday, 22 October, 2012 1:03:00 PM . What I want to do is, each time I run my application, I want the date to be the current date. Time can remain the same.
So even if it is Monday, 22 October, 2012 1:03:00 PM , I want it to be converted to Tuesday, 29 January, 2013 1:03:00 PM
Any ideas on how I can do this?

Hi....

Try this....

@qDebug() << timestamp.toString(QDateTime::currentDateTime().toString());@

Note: if you want to change only the date, then use

@QDate::currentDate()@

Thanks & Regards

Hi Rochi!

  I already tried what you suggested. Using _QDate_ or _QDateTime_ gives me the current date and the current time. What I want is to retain the _time_ which is there in _time-in-msecs_ while only changing its _date_ part.

Thanks.

Hi holygirl,

then please try this.

@timestamp.setMSecsSinceEpoch(1350891180000);
timestamp.setDate(QDate::currentDate());
qDebug() << timestamp.toString(Qt::SystemLocaleLongDate);@

Yep. That worked so well. Thank you so much Rochi :)
