Months (MMM) with dot - HELP NEEDED FROM THE COMMUNITY (edited by lochidev)

[Dtrieb]

If I add a date per template it miss a zero.

P.e.:

Today: 10.8.2024
But I want 10.08.2024

[lochidev]

Hi! What is your app version?
By template do you mean the in app template buttons?

I've tested in the in app templates and https://github.com/lochidev/TextToolsPro/blob/main/examples/config.yml and in both instances I get "10/08/2024". If you can share your config we could find out the error.

[Dtrieb]

Ah!

I found my error, my variable {mydate} was set to:
format: dd.M.yyyy there I miss a M
I've had to write format: dd.MM.yyyy

Sorry!

[Dtrieb]

One question:

Why add
format: ddHHmmMMMyy

a dot like this: 101549Aug.24

[lochidev]

That is also weird. No dot in my end.

You can also mess around by changing the string in this ToString() method here: https://dotnetfiddle.net/yA5DFt

That is what is happening under the hood in this app.

- trigger: :drkdatum
  replace: '{{mydate}}'
  vars:
  - name: mydate
    type: date
    params:
      echo: 
      format: ddHHmmMMMyy
      offset: 0
      cmd: 
      choices: 
  word: false

That's what I use.

I tried your config and I got something like:"101549Aug24" That is what you need right? Can you try using v7.0.0? https://github.com/lochidev/Expandroid/releases/tag/v7.0.0

[Dtrieb]

101640Aug.24 that's what I get.

Version 7.0.0
com.dingleinc.texttoolspro

[lochidev]

Can you try with "ddHHmm%byy"? instead?

Unfortunately since I can't replicate this on my end this will be a hard fix. Let's open the issue and see if anyone also will get this issue.

ddHHmm%byy = 101744Aug.2024
