Beginner help please : Paste Date /Time format
(1/1)
Flippertie:
I've had plain vanilla FARR installed for a while - and I'm now trying to delve a little deeper in to the possibilities...
I know I can paste date and time (FARR > paste date <enter>) etc
I want to customize/extend that to have an alias:
1) to use 'p' instead of 'paste'
2) to paste a few pre-defined strings,
ie Dates (%d/%m/%y, %y%m%d%H%M etc) or my email address.
I'm sure it's simple enough but I can't find any forum threads discussing it. If someone could give me an example or point me to some documentation I'd be grateful.
mouser:
you can easily make an alias called "p"
with result entries like:
paste myemail | paste [email protected] /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico
paste date | paste %date% /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico
paste time | paste %time% /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico
paste date and time | paste %datetime% /ICON=icons\farr\core-misc_paste.ico
however, believe it or not, FARR does not have a way for you to specify a custom date format to paste. i could add that, but it's just not something anyone has asked for yet.
this would be a nice idea for a little plugin though!
Flippertie:
thanks for the reply.
I assumed that because I can configure the date in the Title bar the variables would be available to use...
The only other person i found looking for something similar was at the end of this thread: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=14501.msg191072#msg191072
I can use a clipboard manager (like ArsClip) to do this already - but I thought that if Farr could handle it then it would be a fun thing to set up...
