Date Format

[anixon]

I have probably invested about 4 hours using Help trying to get a dd/mm/yyyy formated date so please be patient I'm still learning.....

My routine is:

#include <Date.au3>

$file = FileOpen(@scriptdir & "\VMonitorLog.txt", 9)

FileWriteLine($file, "Successful Autostart " & _DateTimeFormat( _NowCalc(),0))

FileClose($file)

It gives me in the following notation in the log file:

Successful Autostart 11/29/2006 12:54:30 PM

The date format I want to achieve is

Successful Autostart 29/11/2006 12:54:30 PM

Check out the Date and Time macros in the help files.

What you'd want then, is something like...

$myDateString = "" & @MDAY &"/"& @MON & "/" & @YEAR & " - " & @HOUR& ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC  & ""oÝ÷ Ù:-zËcºËkº{aÉb¶Ù^±Êâ¦Ö®¶­sbb33c¶×FFU7G&ærÒgV÷C²gV÷C²fײÔDfײgV÷C²ògV÷C²fײÔôâfײgV÷C²ògV÷C²fײT"fײgV÷C²ÒgV÷C²fײõU"fײgV÷C³¢gV÷C²fײÔâfײgV÷C³¢gV÷C²fײ4T2fײgV÷C²gV÷C°¤×6t&÷ÂgV÷C·FW7BgV÷C²Âb33c¶×FFU7G&ær

$file = FileOpen(@scriptdir & "\VMonitorLog.txt", 9) 
FileWriteLine($file, "Successful Autostart " & @MDAY & "/" & @MON & "/" & @YEAR & " " & @HOUR & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC)
FileClose($file)

The clock is in 24 hour format, I'm sure you can figure out how to change it if you want.

Did I get the am/pm right?

Dim $hh, $ap

If @HOUR < 13 Then
    $hh = @HOUR
Else
    $hh = (@HOUR - 12)
EndIf

If @HOUR < 12 Then
    $ap = "AM"
Else
    $ap = "PM"
EndIf

MsgBox(0, "", @MDAY & "/" & @MON & "/" & @YEAR & " " & $hh & ":" & @MIN & ":" & @SEC & " " & $ap)

Oh I want to play, too!

#include <date.au3>

$dtformat = _DateTimeFormat( _NowCalc(),0)
$dtformat = StringTrimLeft($dtformat, StringInStr($dtformat, '/', 0, 2) - 1)

MsgBox(0, '', @MDAY & '/' & @MON & $dtformat)

...but that was the easy way :-)

Thank you very much for your help it works just fine. For some whilst Help is very helpful on understanding some things is not always that obvious. So much to learn so little time. Promise not to ask that question again......
