PuddinPie Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hello. I'm new to this program. I was just wondering how to add a date veriable to a text file name. What I would like to do is create a log file after the program has run with the dateand time in the file name. I've been looking online and in the help file nad can't seem to find it. Thank you.

somdcomputerguy Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) $newname = @MIN & @HOUR & @MDAY & @MON & @YEAR & "logfilename.txt" ConsoleWrite($newname & @LF) & Concatenates/joins two strings. e.g. "one" & 10 (equals "one10") Edited August 4, 2010 by somdcomputerguy - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

PsaltyDS Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Like this: #include <File.au3> $sLogFile = @ScriptDir & "\MyScript_" & @YEAR & @MON & @MDAY & @HOUR & @MIN & SEC & ".log" _FileWriteLog($sLogFile, "Log initialized: " & $sLogFile) Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Moderators Melba23 Posted August 4, 2010 Moderators Share Posted August 4, 2010 PuddinPie,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. You need to get the current date into a string and then use the & (concatenate) operator to join everything together.Here is how to do it:; Here is the original filename $sFile = "C:\LogFile.txt" ; Separate the name and extension $aSplit = StringSplit($sFile, ".") ; And concatenate in the date/time macros $sNewFile = $aSplit[1] & " " & @YEAR & "/" & @MON & "/" & @MDAY & " " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & "." & $aSplit[2] ; And here we are MsgBox(0, "New name", $sNewFile)Obviously you can arrange the macros as you wish to get the exact name you want. I hope that helps.
