Code to display current date and time in UTC format? 2

[doctorjellybean]

I need to obtain the current date and time in UTC (ISO 8601 extended) format to save it to a file like this:

"2013-02-02T11:25:17Z"

Would like the complete code (I do apologize for this, but my knowledge of this kind of programming is virtually zero ), e.g. a Button1OnClick event.

Thank you in advance.

Something like this:

var
myDate : TDateTime;

begin
myDate := StrToDateTime('02/06/2013 08:15');
ShowMessage('Date & Time = ' +DateTimeToStr(myDate));
end;

Sorry, missed the formatting

[b]var[/b]
  myDate : TDateTime;
  
[b]begin[/b]
  myDate := StrToDateTime([teal]'02/06/2013 08:15'[/teal]);
  ShowMessage([teal]'Date & Time = '[/teal] +DateTimeToStr(myDate));
[b]end[/b];

Thank you.

However, I need to display it like this:

2013-02-02T11:25:17Z

Try:

ShowMessage(FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh:nn:ss"Z"', Now));

Hope this help.

One thing to watch out for: 'Now' is local time and not your time converted to UTC. You have to be mindful of time zones and daylight savings time shifts.
