How to pass date in save as file name using autoit?


Recommended Posts

I am using autoIt to handle the saveAs dialog box in selenium java. Here, I should save the pdf file in required directory
ControlFocus("Save As","","Edit1")
ControlSend("Save As","","Edit1","-----My file path\file_name.pdf")
ControlClick("Save As","","Button2")

Is it possible to add today's date or last weekend date(Saturday) in my file name and send in the file path to get saved?

Local $sFilepath = "-----My file path\file_name" & "-" & @YEAR & "-" & @Mon & "-" & @MDAY & ".pdf"
ControlFocus("Save As","","Edit1")
ControlSend("Save As","","Edit1",$sFilepath)
ControlClick("Save As","","Button2")

Thanks, it added today's date in my file name! But, I am still trying to figure out how to add last weekend (saturday) date here.

Try this :

#include <Date.au3>

Local $sFilepath, $sCurrentDate, $aYMD, $iWeekday, $sDateLastSaturday
$sCurrentDate = _NowCalcDate()
$aYMD = StringSplit($sCurrentDate, "/", 2)
$iWeekday  =  _DateToDayOfWeek($aYMD[0], $aYMD[1], $aYMD[2])
$sDateLastSaturday = _DateAdd("D", - $iWeekday, $sCurrentDate)
$sFilepath = "-----My file path\file_name" & "-" & StringReplace($sDateLastSaturday, "/", "-") & ".pdf"
ControlFocus("Save As","","Edit1")
ControlSend("Save As","","Edit1",$sFilepath)
ControlClick("Save As","","Button2")
