how to convert windows date and time to unix date and time
 
hi friends i am a .net developer and i want to convert windows date and time to windows date and time can anybody help me out please its urgent..

What form does the Windows date take? mmddyyyhhmmss - or something of the like; as I highly doubt it references from the epoch (Jan 1, 1970).

Here's the Wikipedia article on UNIX time. Get on them regexes. :)

EDIT: I just re-read your post - going from Windows D&T to Windows D&T sure sounds like a daunting task; I wish you the best of luck with it. ;) *heheh* I assumed you meant Windows D&T to POSIX D&T.

While I can't provide a language-specific answer (as I don't know C#), I can give you a general algorithm to follow (besides, where's the fun in it if I just give you the answer? :)):
Code:
1.  Initialize a counting variable.

2.  Parse the string (to get the numbers in between the '/', ':' and space.

3.  Convert all numbers to seconds, and add them to the counting variable.
It's a really simple algorithm...not to mention a really simple task.

I’m wondering how you did it (there must be an easier way than manually). Is there any equivalent of strptime() in C#?
