§ 5.160 - [time] Built-In

Mnemonic aid: time for TIME

See also: [ampm] ,  [date] ,  [datetime] ,  [ddelta] ,  [month] ,  [striptime] ,  [ths] ,  [twelve]  and  [tz] 

Returns the time the file was processed in HHmmSS format.

Tip:

Notice in the example here I captured the time in a local variable, t. I did this because time changes once per second, and I wanted the result to be the same even if the seconds changed between the various uses here.


[time (sfx=auto|other,)(asfx= AM| PM,)(mode=12|24)]

[date]
[local t [time]]
[date]-[v t]
[slice 0:2,[v t]]
[slice 2:4,[v t]]
[slice 4:6,[v t]]

20260306 20260306-151058 15 10 58

Other built-ins used here:  [date] ,  [local] ,  [slice]  and  [v]
