How to convert IST to EST dates

[lkalli]

I need help to convert IST dates to EST. I tried using below syntax but i am getting error as incorrect format string. current = aqDateTime.Now(); aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(current, "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %est")

What is %est ? As it's not defined in Date and Time Format Specifiers.

[lkalli]

its like %z - Timezone abbrevation. I tried EST as time zone name.

This is the correct usage

function tes()
{
    var current = aqDateTime.Now();
    Log.Message(aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(current, "%d %b %Y %I:%M:%S %p %z"));
}

and to perform the "conversion", see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16805806/conversion-of-time-zone-from-est-to-ist-using-java-scri... and you should be able to perform the same.
