Hi,

I have an apple double file which contains the finder information
(dates) of the actual file. I have parsed that file to get the created
date. I am getting this value as -1140967947. According to the apple
documentation negative sign represents that the date is after 2000 Jan
1 (In GMT). This value should correspond to 12 Nov 2003.

How can i covert this (-1140967947) to date format? I tried the
following (with -1140967947 and 1140967947)



NSDate* dat = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:-1140967947];

NSLog(@"1. date is %@",[dat description]);

NSLog(@"2. date is %@",[[NSDate
dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:-1140967947] description]);

NSLog(@"3. date is %@",[[NSDate
dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:-1140967947] description]);

NSLog(@"--------------------------------------------------------");

NSDate* dat1 = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSince1970:1140967947];

NSLog(@"4. date is %@",[dat1 description]);

NSLog(@"5. date is %@",[[NSDate
dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:1140967947] description]);

NSLog(@"6. date is %@",[[NSDate
dateWithTimeIntervalSinceReferenceDate:1140967947] description]);



Output is:

1. date is 1933-11-05 14:57:33 +0630

2. date is 1968-01-21 17:22:17 +0530

3. date is 1964-11-05 13:57:33 +0530

--------------------------------------------------------

4. date is 2006-02-26 21:02:27 +0530

5. date is 2040-05-14 00:27:11 +0530

6. date is 2037-02-26 21:02:27 +0530



None of the values are nearer to 12 Nov 2003. Why?

Thanks
