Apex: Current time, Milli Second Precision?

I want to get as much time precision from the system as possible...then covert to sting.

 

Any ideas?

Well, in Apex:

 

Datetime x =  Datetime.now();

Integer m = x.milliseconds();

 

You can then convert it to a String in any number of formats, etc.

 

or  Datetime.getTime returns the offset from 1/1/70 in milliseconds.

 

 

It's funny though, I've always thought of Sting as more of a musician than some sort of spy.  I'm not sure why he'd need you to send himmillisecond values through some secret channel? 

 

Best, Steve.

It is `millisecond()` and not `milliseconds()`:

`Long start = Datetime.now().millisecond()`
