Dates are internally stored as a number of seconds and microseconds from a Gambas epoch (which is not the Unix epoch), in GMT. When converted to Float, you get a number of days as integer part, and the rest as decimal part. So, if you need a unix timestamp, i.e. a number of seconds since epoch, you just have to do that: Print Int((CFloat(now) - CFloat(Date(1970, 1, 1))) * 86400) Regards, -- Benoît Minisini ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
