bindkey to plot.il

thecalman

 I need to set a bindkey to schPlot("plot.il"), which I can do alright except that I need to have the outputfile to be different each time so that I am not overwriting anything!

I was thinking maybe append a date/time string to a base filename.  I tried to use the getCurrentTime() function but I need to format it somehow! for an example, I would like "Mar 1 05:23:37 2010" to be "03.01.2010.052337" and then concat this to become my outputfile. ex. "myplotfile_03.01.2010.052337.ps".  Could someone please help me.

  • Get the current time using: tm = timeToTm(stringToTime(getCurrentTime()))

    Use tm ->?? to see what info is now available. From there is it easy to concatenate a time string using sprintf although you will need to add 1900 to the year and do some string manipulation to prefix your numbers with "0". Here's one example:

    minutesString = substring(sprintf(nil, "%d", tm ->tm_min + 100), -2)
