Get Email Date/Time

Demonstrates getting the email "Date" header field in a CkDateTime object. AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

$oEmail = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Email")

; Load a .eml file into the email object.
$bSuccess = $oEmail.LoadEml("/home/users/chilkat/eml/myEml.eml")

$oDtTime = ObjCreate("Chilkat.CkDateTime")
$oDtTime.SetFromRfc822($oEmail.EmailDateStr)

; Once we have the CkDateTime object, we can get the date/time in many different formats:

; Get as a RFC822 GMT string:
Local $bLocalTime = False
ConsoleWrite($oDtTime.GetAsRfc822($bLocalTime) & @CRLF)

; Get as an RFC822 string in the local timezone.
; (remember, the daylight savings that existed at the given time in the past is applied)
$bLocalTime = True
ConsoleWrite($oDtTime.GetAsRfc822($bLocalTime) & @CRLF)

; Get as a 32-bit UNIX time (local or GMT..)
; The Unix time is number of seconds since the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000 (UTC). 
Local $iUnixTime = $oDtTime.GetAsUnixTime($bLocalTime)
ConsoleWrite("Unix time: " & $iUnixTime & @CRLF)

; One can also get the as a "DtObj" object for accessing the individual
; parts of the date/time, such as month, day, year, hour, minute, etc.
; The DtObj can be obtained in the GMT or local timezone:
$oDtObj = ObjCreate("Chilkat.DtObj")
$oDtTime.ToDtObj $bLocalTime,$oDtObj

If ($oDtTime.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite("This should never really happen!" & @CRLF)
    Exit
