How to export generic (.txt file) with date and time stamp?

jelim
Hi guys,

How to export generic (.txt file) with date and timestamp at inside the .txt file? (File -> export -> Generic)

  • Look in help for SYSTIME()
    Assign it to a variable and then use a report comment to print it on your report.

    Mike
  • Drop these in your program:


    ASSIGN/V1 = SYSTEMDATE( "dddd' 'MMMM' 'dd' 'yyyy' ")
    ASSIGN/V2 = SYSTEMTIME("hh'':''mm':'ss' 't' ")

    COMMENT/REPT,"TODAYS DATE: "+V1
    COMMENT/REPT,"TODAYS TIME: "+V2
  • The SYSTIME() function reports both date and time and allows you to do this with a single variable and a single comment.

    Example: "Wed February 12 13:50:21 2014" <------<<<< Straight out of the help file. Search for STRING functions.

  • Exporting as a generic txt file only exports features and dimensions. That's all.

    (at least that's what the help file says)
  • Dph51 is right !
    So you can at the start of the prog :
    ASSIGN/V1=SYSTEMDATE("dd/MM/yyyy")
    ASSIGN/V2=ELEMENT(1,"/",V1)
    ASSIGN/V3=ELEMENT(2,"/",V1)
    ASSIGN/V4=ELEMENT(3,"/",V1)
    Then create a generic point :
    DATE =GENERIC/POINT,DEPENDANT,CARTESIAN,$
    NOM/XYZ,<V2,V3,V4>
    MEAS/XYZ,<V2,V3,V4>
    NOM/IJK,<0,0,1>
    MEAS/IJK,<0,0,1>

    It gives on the txt file :
    DATE,19.000000,5.000000,2017.000000,0.000000,0.000000,1.000000
    If you do the same with SYSTEMTIME, and put values in the vector values, you will have what you want.... With a lot of .000000 in addition Disappointed
  • Yeah, that's apples and oranges. A TXT export is done so that you can read the program into another software. I'm wondering if jelim is talking about outputting dimensions to an RTF file? Or if he's talking about exporting a program. I ask because why would you need a date time stamp for an exported program?

    Nicely done!


  • Nicely done!

    Not at all... Disappointed
    The vector is UNIT, so hour can't work like I said.
    It needs another generic feature from
    ASSIGN/V5=SYTEMTIME("hh:mm:ss"), and then ELEMENT(1,":",V5)...

    Happy week-end, all !!!!!

    Hi Mike,
    Yes, I am talking about outputting dimension with date and timestamp to inside txt file. Because I need this dimension txt file for upload into my own inspection system. But I encounter the double upload issue lead to data duplicated issue. So I need the timestamp inside the txt file to prevent double upload issue.
  • I use this (3.7)... 

    ASSIGN/DATE = SYSTEMDATE("MM_dd_yyyy")
ASSIGN/TIME = SYSTEMTIME("HH_mm")
ASSIGN/FILENAME = "P:\Reports\Customer\PartNumber\_"+DATE+"_"+TIME+" .rtf"
PRINT_IN =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,''Select a print option:
,
,1 .... Print the report
,2 .... Skip the printed report'
IF_GOTO/PRINT_IN.INPUT=="1",GOTO = YESPRINT
IF_GOTO/PRINT_IN.INPUT=="2",GOTO = NOPRINT
GOTO/PRINT_IN
YESPRINT =LABEL/
PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=FILENAME,$
TO_PRINTER=ON,DRAFTMODE=OFF,$
TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=INDEX,FILENAME=,$
REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMEN SIONS=NO,$
PREVIOUS_RUNS=DELETE_INSTANCES
GOTO/END_PROGRAM
NOPRINT =LABEL/
PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=FILENAME,$
TO_PRINTER=OFF,DRAFTMODE=OFF,$
TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=INDEX,FILENAME=,$
REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMEN SIONS=NO,$
PREVIOUS_RUNS=DELETE_INSTANCES
