Question

I have a file which gets created/modified on a PST machine. But when I am accessing this file from an Indian standard time, the Modified date will be returned according to the current system time zone. (As explained here) Is there any way I can get this date with respect to the time zone provided

var WshShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");           
var objFile = fso.GetFile("c:\\abc.txt");
var date = objFile.DateLastModified + "";

Answer 1

Yes, you do this with the DateDiff function in VBS:

DevGuru Info

DateDiff(Interval, Date1, Date2, FirstDayofWeek, FirstWeekofYear)

The DateDiff function calculates the amount of time between two different dates.
There are three mandatory arguments.

Interval

The Interval argument defines the the type of time interval you wish to use to
calculate the time difference.

Only the following settings can be used. You must place the setting inside a
pair of double quotes.   

| SETTING | DESCRIPTION  |
|:--------|:-------------|
| YYYY    | Year         |
| Q       | Quarter      |
| M       | Month        |
| Y       | Day Of Year  |
| D       | Day          |
| W       | WeekDay      |
| WW      | Week Of Year |
| H       | Hour         |
| N       | Minute       |
| S       | Second       |

In javascript you can do it like this:
