Hello all,

does anyone know how to set a variable in Finalbuilder 5 to contain
the date? I need it to have the format YYYYMMDD.





kind regards,

I'm using a script action, like this:

BuildTimestamp = Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000);

Interesting how many ways there are to do things. I use as BeforeAction
script with: (obviously the format can be changed)

BuildDate = FBFormatDateTime("yyyy-mm-dd", Now)

Ah, I didn't know about that one. When I wrote the above, I was mostly
interested in a timestamp though...but good to know there is some date
functionality built-in.

there's a Get Date action you can use. You can provide a custom format
string just like you would to FormatDateTime().
