append curent date and time to filename?

[keilamym]

hey everyone...

i have a tool i created that created a log file... once i rerun the script, id like it to archive the previous logfile, and create a new one... is there a way to append the current date and time to the file name. i've tried items like $date_time=_NowCalc() and used $date_time to appent to the name but i comes back blank... I figured maybe my script was wrong so i put it into a message box and the path is correct...

do anyone else do this and if so, can you please let me know what command your using to append the date to a filename. i can append items like workstation name to a log file but the current date and time isnt working for me..

thanks again

Just concatenate a string using the various date/time macros available in AutoIt. (e.g. @MON, @MDAY, @HOUR, etc)
