Unix epoch to simple date converter?
Nov 22nd, 2008, 10:50pm  
Hey everyone,

I've been looking around, but I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to easily change from Unix epoch time to a format that is legible for us humans =)

The problem is have a a large set of data with unix time stamps, and I want to let the user select begin/end dates.

How can I best switch between different date/time formats?

I've answered my own question I guess, this is what I found:

=========

int epoch = 1225359677;

String date = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").format(new java.util.Date (epoch*1000L));

print(date);

=========

anyone know of something better?

1) Thanks for your sample!
2) How can I get the unix timestamp to be formatted as UTC time?
