A udf sounds good... wait.. I think there allready is one :-) http://cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=293
A tag based version may also work... (from http://cfhub.com/forum//index.cfm?Fuseaction=Thread&TopicID=2879&start=6) <cfset start_date = createdatetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)> <cfset epoch_time = 1016535335> <cfset epoch_converted_date = dateadd("s", epoch_time, start_date)> <cfoutput>#dateformat(epoch_converted_date)# #timeformat(epoch_converted_date)#</cfoutput> > Sounds like the ideal place for a UDF. All you would need to know is the > original value (the baseline) and the intervals for these ints (number of > seconds?). Then use your UDF to calculate the date time. and return it. > > Mark > > Mark A.
