A little date help

[Rob Outar <ro...@ideorlando.org>]

Hello all,

I am indexing the date using the java.io.file.lastModified() method

doc.add(new Field(MODIFIED_DT,
            DateField.timeToString(f.lastModified()), true, true, true));

I am trying to search on this field, but I am having a hard time formatting
the date correctly.  I am not sure what date format lastModified() uses so
trying to come up with a query in milliseconds for the above date field is
difficult.

Has anyone run into this problem?  Is there an easier way to do this?

Let me know,

Rob

In case you can do with less precision, you can store/index the date as a 
string of 8 digits yyyymmdd. There are some date formatting functions in 
java.text iirc. The format also nicely allows range queries.
