Date Time Convertion

[dillipkumar]

Hi,

I have a string like: "2012-10-24T23:59:00.000 +05:30"

I want to modify the above string into different time Zone.

I have written a shell script, but it is not working properly.

lSearchValueDat eTime='2012-10-24T23:59:00.000 +05:30'
lSearchDateTime HmsZone=`echo $lSearchValueDa teTime|cut -c1-23`
lModDateTimeHms Ms=`date +%FT%T.%N -d $lSearchDateTim eHmsZone|cut -c1-23` lModZone=`date +%:z -d $lModDateTimeHm sMs`

NewDateTime=${l ModDateTimeHmsM s}${lModZone}

echo $NewDateTime

O/P: 2012-10-24T18:59:00.000 +02:00

O/P should come like: 2012-10-24T20:29:00.000 +02:00

Please help me to get the appropriate result.

~Thanks

The standard 'date' can do this:

~> date
Sat Jun  9 09:45:13 CEST 2012
~> date -d "2012-10-24T23:59:00.000+05:30" +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z
2012-10-24T20:29:00+0200
~>

~> TZ='America/Los_Angeles' date -d "2012-10-24T23:59:00.000+05:30" +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z
2012-10-24T11:29:00-0700
