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.

  •  The postscript file gets generated correctly now and my ghostscript command can convert this file, but the system("gs...") command is executing before the file is completely saved and ghostscript reports a file error. So now I need to be able to detect that the postscript file has been completed before I continue with my ghostscript command...  any ideas?
