dmei Ex Member	Converting Dates into epoch time Apr 5th, 2010, 9:19am   I was wondering if anyone here has ever written an epoch time converter? I have a tab delimited file that has date as mm/dd/yyyy and I'm trying to convert it to epoch time, so, I can create a timeline that is suppose approximate on the screen by putting it through the range function. Thanks in advance.
