Re: [cfaussie] Re: Convert cf date to milliseconds since the epoch?
At my work, we even have custom ones. When people whinge, we say they scrunch because frowning makes their face look like a scrunchie ( http://www.fancypocket.sg/images/P/703998P.jpg). There's also this one girl who scrunches all the time and has massive... well, you know. We call her Whine-rack.

I wasn’t born until 1975.

Hmm not that simple. The dates are coming from a query, and .getTime() appears not to be valid, for example: cfquery name=q datasource=ds_web_content select sysdate from dual /cfquery cfdump var=#q.sysdate# cfoutput#q.sysdate.getTime()#/cfoutput Error: The getTime method was not found.

This doesn't work either: cfset javaDate = JavaCast(java.util.Date, q.sysdate) Error: JavaCast type java.util.Date must be one of the following types: byte, char, short, int, long, float, double, boolean, string, bigdecimal, their corresponding array representation (eg : int[]), or null.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Convert cf date to milliseconds since the epoch?
I think you were on the right track with .getTime() I tried your SYSDATE example and was able to get the desired result with; lsparsedatetime(qry.sysdate).getTime() I also tried casting the date in the SQL, but the above works (for SYSDATE at least) On 16/02/2012, at 13:02, Andrew Myers am2...@gmail.com wrote: I think I'll just do what i was initially trying to do and write a function that creates a Java date and be done with it.
