3.24.23.3 time/date specifiers
In time/date mode, the acceptable formats are:
Format Explanation %a abbreviated name of day of the week %A full name of day of the week %b or %h abbreviated name of the month %B full name of the month %d day of the month, 01--31 %D shorthand for "%m/%d/%y" (only output) %F shorthand for "%Y-%m-%d" (only output) %k hour, 0--23 (one or two digits) %H hour, 00--23 (always two digits) %l hour, 1--12 (one or two digits) %I hour, 01--12 (always two digits) %j day of the year, 1--366 %m month, 01--12 %M minute, 0--60 %p "am" or "pm" %r shorthand for "%I:%M:%S %p" (only output) %R shorthand for "%H:%M" (only output) %S second, 0--60 %T shorthand for "%H:%M:%S" (only output) %U week of the year (week starts on Sunday) %w day of the week, 0--6 (Sunday = 0) %W week of the year (week starts on Monday) %y year, 0-99 %Y year, 4-digit |
Except for the non-numerical formats, these may be preceded by a "0" ("zero", not "oh") to pad the field length with leading zeroes, and a positive digit, to define the minimum field width (which will be overridden if the specified width is not large enough to contain the number). There is a 24-character limit to the length of the printed text; longer strings will be truncated.
Examples:
Suppose the text is "76/12/25 23:11:11". Then
set format x # defaults to "12/25/76" \n "23:11" set format x "%A, %d %b %Y" # "Saturday, 25 Dec 1976" set format x "%r %D" # "11:11:11 pm 12/25/76" |
Suppose the text is "98/07/06 05:04:03". Then
set format x "%1y/%2m/%3d %01H:%02M:%03S" # "98/ 7/ 6 5:04:003" |
