Yea this came from the lastModified function from the java.io.file. It
is in milliseconds and like you I'm clueless how to convert. I've looked
around the net but everything talks about using seconds not
milliseconds.
A bit more poking and a flash back to 5th grade I just changed my call
to do:
Dateadd('s',thisfile.lastModified()/1000,unixEpoch)
Versus:
Dateadd('s',thisfile.lastModified(),unixEpoch)
This gives me the correct number of seconds and allows the conversion to
work the way I expected :)
At least I know if I ever need the time down to the millisecond
java.io.file has me covered :)
Thanks all!

That's probably milliseconds since the epoch, which is why it's so
darned
huge.
I know how to convert coldfusion dates to java epoch times
(#now().getTime()#) but I've never had to go the other direction.
CFOpenChat uses java dates like that, but I produce the timestamps in
friendly format via javascript because it's an ajax application..
ie...
function getTimestamp(dt)
{
var today=new Date(dt);
var tt = 'AM';
var h=today.getHours();
var m=today.getMinutes();
var s=today.getSeconds();
// add a zero in front of numbers<10
if (h > 12) { h = h - 12; tt = 'PM'; } else if (h == 0) { h = 12; }
if (m < 10) { m = '0' + '' + m; }
if (s < 10) { s = '0' + '' + s; }
// m=checkTime(m)
// s=checkTime(s)
var result=h+":"+m+' ' + tt;
return result;
}
I don't know how to convert a java date to a friendly date in coldfusion
though...
