PS get-date is nice for logs/db

[iamtheky]

I am going through the command list on my win10 box and found get-date, dont know why i never used it prior.

#include <array.au3>

$sCommand = "powershell Get-Date"

$iPID = run($sCommand , "" , @SW_HIDE , $stdout_child)

$sOutput = ""

     While 1
        $sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
    WEnd

ProcessClose($iPID)
msgbox(0, '' , $sOutput)

$aOut = stringsplit(stringreplace($sOutput , "," , ""), " " , 2)

_ArrayTranspose($aOut)
_ArrayDisplay($aOut)

The PowerShell command is nice to have, but why use it when you can just use an AutoIt macro?

Macro Reference - Time And Date

ConsoleWrite(_Now() & @CRLF)

Have you tried these?

I like it because with one command you also get day of the week, and if you prefer names to numbers, you dont have to convert month.

#include <Date.au3>
Exit ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & @CRLF & f_get_date() & @CRLF & @CRLF)
Func f_get_date()
    Local $sOut = ""
    $sOut &= _DateDayOfWeek(@WDAY)
    $sOut &= ", "
    $sOut &= _DateToMonth(@MON, $DMW_SHORTNAME)
    $sOut &= " "
    $sOut &= @MDAY
    $sOut &= ", "
    $sOut &= @YEAR
    $sOut &= " "
    $sOut &= _Time()
    Return $sOut
EndFunc   ;==>f_get_date

Func _Time() ; https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Snippets_(_Time_%26_Date_)#Time_3
    Local $hour = @HOUR, $AMPM = "AM"
    If $hour > 11 Then $AMPM = "PM"
    If $hour = 0 Then $hour = 12
    If $hour > 12 Then $hour -= 12
    Return StringRight("0" & $hour, 2) & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & " " & $AMPM
EndFunc   ;==>_Time

but I did not know the powershell command. Thanks for posting.
