$asctime Identifier - mIRC

mIRC

$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)
