Archive: Get Current Date


Get Current Date
I saw a few posts regarding how to get the current date. So I wrote a extension dll to just that. The dll file lets you set a format string and it will return the date using that format string. I've attached the extension and source. See the readme.txt for info on the format string.

I'm also working on an extension to be able to get the same info on files.


My use of this add-on
This is excellent. I use this to manage the update system for software installations at my clients. I install a new version of the software on the client's server and the software running on the workstations checks the date of the new install vs. the date and time of the last install to see if things are out of date.
