Ok, maybe you could advise what packages to use for this simple scenario:
I have two text strings with dates:
s1 = "Wed, 07 Dec 2011 10:09:21 +0000" s2 = "Wed, 07 Dec 2011 10:11:00 +0000"
I need: 1) Find how many seconds are between these dates 2) Calculate the date in the middle between these dates
It looks like you already have 1) and 2) finished, using the 'time' package.
3) Print out all three dates in the different format, like these: 2011, 7 Dec, Wed, 10:11:00
If you need to convert into a specific time-zone you can use the 'utcToLocalTime' function in the 'time' package, which takes a UTCTime and a TimeZone to create a 'LocalTime'. I'm just guessing that you might want this, as your output format doesn't include time-zone information. Then for formatting, the 'Data.Time.Format' module in the 'time' package has the function 'formatTime', which uses the same sort of format string used by 'parseTime'. I hope that helps! It took me a while to find my way around the 'time' package properly. Antoine
