Here's the problem, i'm trying to create a directory from the date and time that vds can aquire

%B = @datetime(dd-mm-yy-t,%T)

When creating a directory you cannot put the : in the name, but when vds aquires the time format it has a : in the middle of it, character 11 to be exact.

Here's the code i've worked out so far;

%A = @datetime(dd-mm-yy-t,%T)

%X = @strdel(%A,11)

%X = @strins(%A,11,-)


The problem i'm getting now is that when vds aquires the time from the computer it doesn't grab the double digits, eg

9.15 PM

instead of

09.15 PM

When the time is say 10.15 PM it creates the problem that 11 is not the character to change anymore.

Is there a way to accomplish this??

How about using something like this:

%A = @datetime(dd-mm-yy-t,%T)
If @greater(@len(%A),15)
%X = @strdel(%A,12)
%X = @strins(%A,12,-)
Else
%X = @strdel(%A,11)
%X = @strins(%A,11,-)
End

I think that should work.

Here ya go (although I'm kinda wondering why you're
using day-month-year format...):

%A = @datetime(dd-mm-yy-hh-nn-ss,%T)

Yikes!!!

I should've known that. Maybe giving up coffe was not such a good idea after all.

[nemisis010]

Yeah that worked fine.

Mac, i'm using the date month year format because it's the only way to create folders that are random enough but easy to understand when they where backed up.

I'm creating a mod tool for a game that backs up the datafiles when you make changes then you can restore the older ones if something goes wrong.

OK, just wondering.
