Hello Chris,
Sorry no one has gotten back to you earlier but are you still having trouble
with this?
If so, do you know where its getting reformatted from Unix epoch time to
scientific notation? That may coincide with how are you extracting the value
into an attribute to begin with.

I'm working with a JSON formatted flowfile that contains a Unix epoch time,
which I pull out time and assign it to an attribute.
1. When I use AttributesToJSON and then attempt to InvokeHTTP to POST that
information I find that the time is now a string formatted as '1.234567E9'.
2. If I attempt to insert an ExecuteStreamCommand to convert the string to a
float I'm getting an error that Nifi is sending that time variable down as a
float.
3. toNumber() doesn't like the scientific notation either, so none of the
builtiin functions work for me.
Thoughts?
Also, a little consistency with numeric formats and just 'do what I say' with
them. If I want conversion I'll come back on another thread.
Thanks in advance.
Chris
