$selection.earliest$ time formatting

I am using a 'zoom' feature within the simplified XML, and I have it working. I am simply attempting to reformat the
$selection.earliest$ and $selection.latest$ to human readable time instead of EPOCH time in order to stick it in the title of the XML panel.

Can that be done, or maybe there is another field(s) I can use to display human readable time?

Thank you!

@dolivasoh, @pamcarvalho, Use the <eval> tag to convert $start$ and $end$ selection times to String time using strftime() function:

       <selection>
            ...
            ...
            ...
            <eval token="selEarlStr">strftime($start$,"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S %p")</eval>
            <eval token="selLatStr">strftime($end$,"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S %p")</eval>
       </selection>

Then use the $selEarlStr$ and $selLatStr$ tokens to display selected time in String format.

    <html>
        ...
        ...
        <code>New Selected Time Range (String): $selEarlStr$ - $selLatStr$</code>
        ...
    </html>

You can use convert() to achieve this.

ctime()

This would need to be done in a dashboard panel 'title' screen. I'm not running a search there unfortunately.

l know it has been 2 years, but does anyone know how to do that? I am using drilldown to get data value, but when I put the value as the title, it is in Epoch, and I need it to be in human format in the table.. Can anyone help me with that?
