I have a variable now=getDate()
For example time now is "2014-01-15 21:35:46"
How do I extract the month, day, hour, minute to seperate variables?
For example month=01, day=15, hour=21, minute=35.

Can any one help?
Thanks!

I can use {triggertime,dateformat,HH:mm:ss} as the displayed text in notification.
For example it shows "21:30:30"
I want to save "21:30:30" as a variable.
So I create a script.

Code: Select all

myTime={triggertime,dateformat,HH:mm:ss}
But Automagic reported error while executing the script.
Is there anything wrong?
Thanks,

Look at the script action in this flow. It's not exactly what you want but it should help you forward.

I think the problem with your code is that you forgot the quotation marks:

Code: Select all

myTime="{triggertime,dateformat,HH:mm:ss}"
