How to store date time as a long value into a text file.

Hi all,

I have searched the archives, but I am not able to get the answer of
my question. My problem is I want to create a file say "foo" and store
current time as long value in that using Ant.

For example :

long myvar = System.currentTimeMillis();

would produce a long value of current date time, which I want to store in "foo"

I created the file :

        <target name="create.foo">
      <touch file="foo" />
  </target>

But I am not sure, I to store date time as long value into that file..
Does some have any idea ?

Regards,
Ravi.

Just to inform the list, I was not able to wokout this problem using
standard Ant task, I had to write small custom Ant task to solve this
problem -- which in fact I was trying to avoid ;-)

Ravi.

Did you look at the tstamp task?

            <tstamp>
                <format  property = "some-property"  pattern =
"yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss"/>
            </tstamp>

Sorry for dely in replying... I tried tstamp ant task, but it gives me the
date and time in the format I specify in pattern, while I wanted a long
value produced by  System.currentTimeMillis() in the created file.

Thanks for your response.
Regards
Ravi.

There is a millisecond pattern:  "S"

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

<tstamp>
    <format property="some-property pattern="S"/>
</tstamp>
