Mary,
This is great! I have been reading lots of posts and bookmarking and saving posts. This is a great start to my problem, and I hope you can help.
My ultimate goal is to create a UUID, Universally unique identifier - Wikipedia. I am trying to use the standard to create a version 1 UUID using the date-time and MAC address. I got the MAC address from the “MAC Address from PAC Controller” post, MAC Address of PAC Controller. With this post, I believe I can get very close with the date.
My issue is, how do I calculate, and I quote from the specs:
“…a 60-bit timestamp, being the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since midnight 15 October 1582 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the date on which the Gregorian calendar was first adopted.”
This code provides the elapsed years, days, and HH:MM:SS, from a given date. How would you calculate the needed 100-nanosecond intervals from 1582???
Thank you.
