TIP: Calculating unix timestamp from a date string

I was asked if a date code string could be used to sort/filter response data. To do this the data code string needs to be converted into a number that can be compared. Attached is an example of converting a date code string into a UNIX-like timestamp. See the custom query simple_timestamp().

iTest response map

unix_timestamp.ffrm (8.9 KiB)

10 |950

Attachments: Up to 2 attachments (including images) can be used with a maximum of 512.0 KiB each and 1.0 MiB total.
