time.format
Description: Format a timestamp
Subroutine Syntax: {{*time.format(X,Y)}}
<X>: original format
<Y>: new format
Example 1:
{{*time.format({{*time.now()}},yyyyMMddHHmmss)}}
Example 1 Output:
20210402093846
Example 2:
{{*time.format({{*time.now()}},yyyyMMddHHmm)}}
Example 2 Output:
202104020938
Example 3:
{{*time.format({{*time.now()}},yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS)}}
Example 3 Output:
2021-04-02 09:38:46.106
time.now
Description: Generates the current timestamp
Subroutine Syntax: {{*time.now()}} - Format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS
Example:
{{*time.now()}}
Example Output:
2021-04-02 09:38:46.106
time.travel
Description: Generates a timestamp in the future with nr of hours, minutes, seconds
Subroutine Syntax: {{*time.travel(X,Y,Z)}}
<X>: time which you would like to travel from
<Y>: travel in hours, minutes, seconds
<Z>: amount of hours, minutes, seconds
Example 1:
{{*time.travel ({{*time.now()}},”hour”,5)}}
Example 1 Output:
2021-04-02 14:38:46.106
Example 2:
{{*time.travel ({{*time.now()}},”minute”,5)}}
Example 2 Output:
2021-04-02 09:43:46.106
Example 3:
{{*time.travel ({{*time.now()}},”second”,5)}}
Example 3 Output:
2021-04-02 09:38:51.106
time.travel
Description: Generates a timestamp in the past with nr of hours, minutes, seconds
Subroutine Syntax: {{*time.travel(X,Y,-Z)}}
<X>: time which you would like to travel from
<Y>: travel in hours, minutes, seconds
<-Z>: amount of hours, minutes, seconds
Example 1:
{{*time.travel ({{*time.now()}},”hour”,-5)}}
Example 1 Output:
2021-04-02 04:38:46.106
Example 2:
{{*time.travel ({{*time.now()}},”minute”,-5)}}
Example 2 Output:
2021-04-02 09:33:46.106
Example 3:
{{*time.travel ({{*time.now()}},”second”,-5)}}
Example 3 Output:
2021-04-02 09:38:41.106
