[Solve] Date GMT conversion

[cappe]

How do I convert this "Thu Oct 14 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Ora legale dell’Europa centrale)//" date to tdatetime?

I think so:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. ...
2. uses DateUtils;  
3. ...
4. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
5. const
6.   SDN : TWeekNameArray = ('Sun','Mon','Tue','Wen','Thu','Fri','Sat');
7.   SMN : TMonthNameArray = ('Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun',
8.                            'Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec');
9. var
10.   dt: TDateTime;
11.   fs: TFormatSettings;
12. begin
13.   fs := DefaultFormatSettings;
14.   fs.ShortMonthNames := SMN;
15.   fs.ShortDayNames   := SDN;
16.   dt := ScanDateTime('DDD mmm d yyyy hh:nn:ss','Mon Oct 11 2021 21:54:00 GMT+0200', fs);
17.  
18.   // test only
19.   ShowMessage( FormatDateTime('dd.mm.yyyy hh:nn:ss', dt) );
20. end;
21.  

If you are in german speaking country SDN and SMN must set to english words.

On Windows you can get fs for a given language directly, e.g.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.  
2.  
3. uses sysutils;
4.  
5. const LCID_English = 2057; // british
6.  
7. begin
8.    GetLocaleFormatSettings(LCID_English,fs);
9.   dt:= .... scandatetime...
10. end;
11.
