time format

[Gatet]

For a status report of the program, showing each command sended and the actions executed,  I want to introduce a time stamp at the beginning of each line

I'm not sure about what exactely you're asking for...

If it's just about how to to get a date and time string then it's very easy... see attached picture.

I don´t know why, there are 2 messages created, one of them only with half text. Sorry about that. Here is the full one:

"For a status report showing each command sended and execution of the program, I want to add a time stamp in the beginning of each line of it. To obtain a more clear result, I want all characters in the same space, but I can´t achieve it due to the hour field, as shown in this example:

8:57:43 command example1

10:01:07 command example2 

I have seen how to remove the leading zeros (with #) from minutes and seconds, but not how to add it to the hour, which is what I´m looking for.

I know that there is another option: split the string, analyze the hour and add a initial space if is under 10, but it looks a quite dirty solution. So I guess it can be implemented with the time format string. Somebody knows how?

Thanks."

Well then sory, I can't answer the full question... I'd use the string functions to fix it... Maybe there's a better way.

Thanks anyway, Titou.

By the way, I get the solution

I see that this is an ancient thread but I'm having the same issue and the proposed solution does not work for me. I'm using a very similar format string (%H:%M:%S%2u) and it does not give me a leading zero for single-digit hours. Does anyone have a solution?
