UTC time in strftime 1

[tini1208]

hi all,

i am using strftime to convert UTC seconds to a time format, but strftime uses the local system time (in my case gmt+1....summer and wintertime). my current code is:

OFS="\t"; print $3, strftime("%Y\t%m\t%d\t%H\t%M\t%S",time), lon, lat, ele

it there a possibility to use UTC time instead of system time?

thanks a lot....

thanks phv, but....mmmhhhhh.....i think it's more understandable, when i post the complete code. i am always using tcsh....force of habit.

#! /bin/tcsh -f

foreach i (`ls *.out`)

echo $i

set outfile = $i:r.1b

gawk '{if(NF==10)                                               \
       UTC=$1+946724400                                           \
       shot_time = $2/1000000                                      \
       lon = $5/1000000                                            \
       lat = $4/1000000                                            \
       ele = $6/1000                                               \
       ocElev = $7/1000                                            \
       oc_load = $8/1000                                           \
       sat = $9/1000                                               \
       sigma_ele = $10/1000                                        \
       OFS="\t"; print $3, strftime("%Y\t%m\t%d\t%H\t%M\t%S",UTC), lon, lat, ele-0.71, ocElev, oc_load, sat, sigma_ele\
}' $i > $outfile
echo "...Done"
end

the exportet utc seconds are advert to 1.1.2000 12:00, so i add the missing seconds to "real" utc.
so...TZ=UTC0 has to be added before the gawk command?

Perhaps this ?
setenv TZ=UTC0
gawk ...

Hope This Helps, PH.
