tFTPFileProperties component mtime

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 13:35:11 GMT

Hi All,
the tFTPFileProperties component's mtime property gives only time. Is there a way to get both date & time?
example:

System.out.print("Date "+new Date(input_row.mtime)+" ");
result will be as below
Date Thu Jan 15 20:34:34 IST 1970
Here it takes default java's start date i.e 1970.

Thanks in advance
Manju

I think something like this:
TalendDate.parseDate("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss", DateVariableHere);
or
TalendDate.parseDate("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss","Jan 15 20:34:34");
I don't know how to get the year like you want. This website link may help:

mtime property has date value in milliseconds. When we use that value to get date, like Date dt = new Date(mtime);
We get both date & time, but the date will be default start date i.e. 1970.
the reason for this is mtime property has only time value in milliseconds.
my question is there a way to get both modifed date & time for a file?
thanks,
Manju
