append timestamp to filename

[Texis User]

Hi,
I have a batch process creating files.
I need timestamp appended to their file names.

Can we do that?

Thanks

Yes, by formatting 'now' as a string when making the filenames.

<strfmt "logfile-%at.log" "%m/%d/%y-%H:%M" 'now'>

See http://www.thunderstone.com/site/vortexman/node92.html for details on customizing the date format.

typo, make that "formatting 'now' as a date", if it wasn't clear.
