Hi

Is there a way to convert the unix time used to a normal date and/or time?

Also, is there a way to enter data in a seperate file, a bit of a log?

Wiliam

It is quite simple
To show a date/time

To get separated values


Conversion is harder (and the result may suffer from the time zones) :


All those codes will show something like : 2014-11-3 12:14:47



Yes

Isn't Groovy lovely ?

It indeed is, thanks for your help!

I understand getTime() is seconds since 00:00: 1/1/1970 according to the documentation, but on my machine it is 4 h earlier than new Date().time /1000. new Date() seems correct. getTime isn't. It isn't a time zone issue (I'm in EDT so UTC would be 4 h later than Date().time). The reason I'm interested is to look in data.properties at the launch.lasttime value to see how long user has been away. I can hard code the 4-h difference, but I would like to understand it. Is there something about getTime I don't understand?


Thanks in advance

(edit)
It is a time zone issue (the opposite of behaviour you may think about).
Avoid using new Date().time, use getTime() instead, particullary calculating a time lapse.

You say to use getTime. Fair enough. But getTime doesn't give me the correct time when I convert back to hh:mm:ss. new Date().time does. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to load in launch.lasttime and convert that to a correct (local time) hh:mm:ss. Suggestions?

BTW Doti, thanks for the large code work around. Worked great (or as great as not having external subroutines). I've certainly learned a lot about Groovy.

Ok, thank you, there is a bug.

It'll be corrected on the next release of SexScripts. This is very strange.
(edit:ok now)
