Date Format

[RF101]

Hello,

I am trying to automatically collect a file hourly with the following naming convention:

06100512 which is YYMMDDHH

I tried using the following line:

strfmt sGetPCMD "get %02d%02d%02d%02d.PCMD.gz^M" iYear iMonth iDay iHour

This is close but it gives me 4 digit Year instead of 2

Any ideas?

After a few searches I found my answer in another post.

The trick that was posted seems to work.

I added a new line like below:

strdelete sGetPCMD 4 2

This deleted the extra fields out of the Year that I did not want.

Thanks,

RF101

Are you using ltimeints or a similar comand to get the hour, month, etc.? If so, probably the easiest "fix" is to subtract 2000 from the year so you have only a two digit value for that two digit field. strfmt will not "chop" a four digit integer to fit into two digits, so that's the immediate workaround.

This sounds good too.

Thanks,

I usually convert the year to a string and format that.
