Hi,
Using CF6.1...
Occasionally the 'dateLastModified' returned by cfdirectory is not really a
date, well not according to the dateformat() function anyway...
=======================================================================================
Error Occurred While Processing Request
The value "Wednesday, 13 July 2005 12:16:36 PM WST" could not be converted to a date.
=======================================================================================
Without getting into the specifics of trying to parse dates, shouldn't
cfdirectory be returning a 'date' that can be used by dateformat()? *Surely* it
should be...
The documentation says:
If action = "list", cfdirectory returns these result columns, which you can reference in a cfoutput tag:
name: directory entry name. The entries "." and ".." are not returned.
size: directory entry size
type: file type: File, for a file; Dir, for a directory
dateLastModified: the date that an entry was last modified
attributes: file attributes, if applicable
So, "the date that an entry was last modified" suggests a 'date' but it would
appear to be a string. And not a valid date string at that...
Is it because the server is running with non-US date formats? But I would
expect CF to handle this...
Perhaps someone can point me to a java function called something like
"getFileAttributes()" to use instead?
Many thanks,
Brett
