AutoHotKey Script for date time function, what code for "MM" may be substituted to provide the month as text "i.e. NOV, DEC, etc." my script follows
To substitute the "MM" code in an AutoHotKey script with the month represented as text (e.g., "NOV" for November), you can use the FormatTime
function and the %b
format specifier. Here's an example modification of your script:
ahkFormatTime, CurrentDate, , MM
FormatTime, CurrentMonthText, , %b
MsgBox, The current date is: %CurrentDate%
MsgBox, The current month is: %CurrentMonthText%
In the above script, the FormatTime
function is used twice. First, it is used to retrieve the current date and store it in the CurrentDate
variable using the MM
format specifier. This will provide the month as a two-digit number (e.g., "01" for January, "02" for February, etc.).
Then, the FormatTime
function is used again to retrieve the current month represented as text and store it in the CurrentMonthText
variable using the %b
format specifier. This will provide the abbreviated month name (e.g., "JAN" for January, "FEB" for February, etc.).
Finally, the message boxes display the current date and the current month.
You can modify the script further based on your specific requirements, such as storing the month text in a different variable or using it in a different context.
Make sure you have AutoHotKey installed on your system, and save the script with a .ahk
extension (e.g., datetime.ahk
). You can then run the script by double-clicking on it or executing it with AutoHotKey.
Refer to the AutoHotKey documentation for more information on the FormatTime
function and other available format specifiers.
