Changing / to - in variable for date format

[stephen_rickett]

I have my $date$ system variable set to dd/mm/yyyy format however I want to also use the variable to create a file name, however you cant have / in file names so I want to subsitute it for a dash - so it would be dd-mm-yyyy. I'm not sure how best to go about it, if its atall possible?

I have also tried to use $day$-$Month$-$year$ however if the day or month has a leading 0 then it removes it... if someone can solve this dropping of the leading 0 issue then I could use this method


Cheers

Hi Stephen,

Attached is a sample which removes the '/' from the Date and replaces it with the '-'

Download and Save the task under 'My tasks' folder. To locate the path of the 'My Tasks' folder, right click on any of the existing tasks and select the 'Locate on Disk' option.

Hope this helps.
