Script get current date and time

[Mongstaen]

Hi Guys!
Any chance of getting current time in a script?
In need of (example) 2022-02-09_14

Thanks!

var
  Time: string;
  
begin
  Time := FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd_hh', FakeNow);
  SystemLog('The time is: ' + Time);
end.

Hi!
Thanks.

If i were to add one hour to the current hour… Is that possible?

Just add 0.0417 (= 1/24):

Time := FormatDateTime('yyyy-mm-dd_hh', FakeNow + 0.0417);

Unfortuntately, there is some bug in the script engine that prevents you from writing + 1/24 (it will round that down to 0).

Note that FakeNow represents the current time in the mAirList universe, which may differ from the system time. If you prefer the latter, use Now rather.

Well, it is the system time - unless you happen to double-click the clock in the bottom right corner of the status bar and set it to something else
