How to display time in a proper format?

[Quali-Community]

Hi Support,

I need a way to display time in a specific 24h format in my test - like 15:24:12

if the minutes / seconds is less then 10 I need to have a trailing zero - 15:06:05 and not 15:6:5

Any advice?

Hi

you can use the following expression:

{datestr(now,'dd-mm-yy hh:MM:ss')} 

or if you need just the time:

{datestr(now,'hh:MM:ss')}

Thanks Yaniv,

That's a good example. Just to emphasize: when formatting the time - make sure to use Capital M and not a lowercase m.

mm - month

MM - minutes.

Please note that the "datestr" function is an old function that was replaced in TestShell 4.8

The recommended functions to use are:

currenttime2str, time2str, time2vect, timediff, addtotime

These functions gets the date format in the same way .Net does:
