Kevin, It's
probably simpler to do this sort of manipulation with script rather than using
NAnt tasks and functions. Try something
like:
<script language="C#" prefix="format" >
<code><![CDATA[
[Function("format-date")] public static string
FormatDate(DateTime date) {
return date.ToString("yyyyMMdd"); } ]]></code>
</script> You would
then call this as:
<echo message="The date is: ${format::format-date(datetime::now())}"
/> Cheers, Bill -----Original
Message----- OK. I had a very simple problem in calling
date functions and getting the year, month, and day parts of the date. Now that
I have that solved I would like to solicit help with my next task. I want to
convert a datetime to a specific string format. Right now I want to convert to
a string YYYYMMDD, with leading zeros as appropriate. While I can call
get-month to get the month portion of a date I cannot format the integer into a
string with a leading zero. I have a similar problem with the day portion. Any
suggestions? Thank you. Kevin UK businesses use 2 million tonnes of paper each year.
