Compiled Time stamp for name

[ehigginbotham]

I need to write a rule that will name my output file with a static name followed by the date. I would like to add a time stamp to the end of the date so that if I had to run two of these jobs in the same day, the files would not overwrite. I do not see any code for the timestamp. Anyone know what it is?

 

 

my date rule

//date rule

var todaysdate = Today();

return (FormatDate(todaysdate, "mmm dd, y"));

 

 

my rule so far is on the OnNewoutputfile callback rule.

 

//NewOutputFileName rule

FusionPro.Composition.outputFileName = "MKT-271/MKT-271" +"_"+ Rule("r_date") + ".pdf";

 

 

thanks

Hi Eric,

 

Try this:

var todaysdate = Today();

return (FormatDate(todaysdate, "mm/dd/y - HH:MM:ss"));

It's actually "nn" for minutes. The full documentation is here:
