Clib.asctime() Method

This method returns a string representing the date and time extracted from a Time object.

Syntax

Clib.asctime(Time)

Returns

A string representing the date and time extracted from a Time object.

Usage

For details on the Time object, see Time Objects. The returned string has the format Day Mon dd hh:mm:ss yyyy; for example, Wed Aug 10 13:21:56 2005.

Example

This script shows the difference between asctime() and mkdir() formats for time.

TheApplication().TraceOn("c:\\eScript_trace.txt","allocation","all");

var tm = Clib.localtime(Clib.time());
var tmStr = Clib.asctime(tm);
var tmVal = Clib.mktime(tm);

TheApplication().Trace("Time String : " + tmStr);
TheApplication().Trace("Time Value : " + tmVal);

TheApplication().TraceOff();

The script produces trace output similar to the following.
