$asctime can be used to return the time and date in an optional text format. The time and date can be taken from the current time, or you can use $asctime to format a date in relation to $ctime.
Synopsis[edit]
$asctime[([N,]format)]
Parameters[edit]
NThis parameter is optional, but normally would point to a value derived from $ctime.
formatThis is where the formatting options would go. If you do not specify a $ctime number N to evaluate, the formatting is performed on the current date and time.
Formatting Options[edit]
| Property | Format | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Day | dddddddddd | 101MonMonday |
| Month | mmmmmmmmmm | 101JanJanuary |
| Year | yyyyy | 142014 |
| Hours | hhhHHH | 5051313 |
| Minutes | nnn | 101 |
| Seconds | sss | 101 |
| AM/PM | tttTTT | a/pam/pmA/PAM/PM |
| Ordinal | oo | st nd rd th |
| Timezone | zzzzzz | +o+oooo+oooo GMT |
Quick Note: All of the formatting parameters can touch each other, and they will be properly converted. For example: $asctime(hhnnss) would return the hours, minutes, and seconds all touching each other in a terrible format.
Examples[edit]
Echo the current date and time
//echo -a $asctime
Echo the current date in the format Month Day, Year
//echo -a $asctime(mmmm $+(dd,$chr(44)) yyyy)
Using the $ctime of 840240070, format to Day Month Year hour:minute<am/pm>
//echo -a $asctime(840240070,dd mmmm yyyy hh:nntt)
Using the orbital format, we can add the proper orbitals to date digits
//echo -a $asctime(mmmm $+(doo,$chr(44)) yyyy)
