Time Stamp Macro

    Hi Forum


    I am looking for help to create a Macro that inserts a time stamp into the the cue name when storing cues. Firstly I guess is this possible?


    Thanks

    Personally I use LUA and the os.date function sort of like this:


    Code
    LUA'SetVar(UserVars(),"NAME",os.date("SOME TEXT-%Y_%m_%d-%H%M"))'
SetUserVar "CUENUMBER" (Cue Number?)
Store Cue $CUENUMBER
Label Cue $CUENUMBER $"CUENAME"
DELUSERVAR "CUENAME"
DELUSERVAR "CUENUMBER"


    I normally use it to save show files, but when I try to oneliner it like this:


    Code
    LUA'SetVar(UserVars(),"CUENAME",os.date("SOME TEXT-%Y_%m_%d-%H%M"))'
Store Cue (CueNumber?) $"CUENAME"
DELUSERVAR "CUENAME"


    I get an error during the Store Cue that the variable does not exist.



    I forgot one important note, if you have a Timezone configured the time will be in UTC

    You can use the Root().StationSettings.TimeConfig to get details but I haven't played with other then just now


    List Root().StationSettings.TimeConfig.Hour for all the values e.g:


    lua't = Root().StationSettings.TimeConfig' shortener to t

    lua'Printf("%i:%i:%i", t.Hour, t.Minute, t.Second)'

    kind of works
