Custom Command

$dateToTime

Converts a human-readable date string to milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC). You can optionally use $timezone to specify a custom timezone for accurate conversion.

Usage

$dateToTime[Date]

Parameters:

  • Date: The date string you want to convert. The date format should be in a format that JavaScript can parse, such as MM-DD-YYYY, YYYY-MM-DD, or Month DD, YYYY. It's generally recommended to use YYYY-MM-DD for clarity.

Example

This example converts the date 12-05-2000 to its corresponding timestamp in milliseconds.

!!exec $dateToTime[12-05-2000]
Custom Command Bot 04/23/2025
975974400000

Explanation:

The command !!exec $dateToTime[12-05-2000] converts the date December 5th, 2000, to its equivalent timestamp: 975974400000 milliseconds since the Unix epoch. This value can then be used for further date and time calculations.

Important Notes:

  • The output timestamp is in milliseconds.
  • Be mindful of the date format used, as JavaScript's date parsing can be ambiguous. Using YYYY-MM-DD is recommended for consistent results.
  • If no timezone is explicitly set using $timezone, the script will use the default timezone of the environment where it's running. This could lead to unexpected results if the environment's timezone differs from your intended timezone. Consider using $timezone to ensure consistent and accurate conversions.
