ms:format-time Function

Converts standard XSD time formats to characters suitable for output.

string ms:format-time(string datetime, string format [,locale])

Parameters

  • string datetime
    Contains a time-related value in XSD format. For nonstring arguments, this function behaves as if a string() function were applied. If the argument is not a time, the output is an empty string. If it is a valid XSD time and some fields are empty, this function attempts to fill unspecified fields.
  • string format
    Contains a format string, according to Win32 API GetTimeFormat functions.
  • locale [optional]
    Defines the locale to format the data for (for example, "EN_us").
