dcsTimestampMod v.3.5
This is a script that I wrote to quickly modify time-stamps using ISO 8601 dates. I have somewhat tested it using American standard dates and it works ok. There are some bugs using American standard. Like i said it was written to use ISO 8601.
This can can copy any time-stamp to any time-stamp. Even copy to clipboard and file names. I also wrote it for my personal use, but thought maybe somebody else will find it useful. I actually use it as a 'custom button' and then left click for one portion of the script and right click for the second portion, and it works great (for me). There is one major bug in that the mods for the DST do not work right. It turns out that according to somewhere in the XY docs (can not remember where I found it) it states that there is a spacing issue and that it has been determined that this is not a bug. Actually there is probably an easy fix that I am missing. Anyway this is posted as is ....

The "CustomButtons (03-05).ini" is there so that you can add a button to YOUR "xyplorer.ini" file.

I use this all the time. Thanks!!

A helpful note: Right click the custom button editor's "clear" button, choose "copy as snippet" and publish that copied snippet here/in the archive.
Beats asking people to modify their hearts <xyini>s.
(ask them instead to just execute the command ::snippet; and then in the opened textbox, paste the published snippet code)

Man, I love XY ! Always, something new to learn / try. Will do.
