IDEA: Insert date and time into internet explorer - or other text field
brotman:
Hi From a first time requester... ,
I need an easy-to-use function to insert the current date and time into a text field, specifically into IE7. The format I'd like is
[#- day-of-week month date, year time - *] where the * and # represent bits of arbitrary text, like my initials for example.
Control over the formatting would be nice but is not strictly necessary. Invocation should come from a hot key or as right click context menu or a browser add-in or menu tool or the like.
Kind of like Skrommel's "now" script for AHK, but with classier formatting :D
Anyone know of an existing tool like this???
Thanks,
Chuck

Look at the options in CH&S available here, on DonationCoder, from mouser.
I think you can set up what you want and 'hot-key' it into place:
Clipboard Help+Spell is a text-based clipboard utility with the following features:
* Database stores history of all past text clipboard entries for easy viewing, modification, and search
* Use it for keeping hierarchical notes - search, sort, filter by text, modification date, last view date
* Super easy and super fast search function - or use complex filters if you need them - you'll never have a problem finding a note again!
* Organize your notes and clips any way you want - show them all or view by group or category; view your clips any way you like
* High-quality spellcheck - underlined mistakes; learning spellchecker
* Configurable hotkeys for common functions
* Powerful text formatting options - make your own presets for common functions
* Simple functions for copying and pasting into and out of other applications

cranioscopical,
Clipboard Help+Spell?? Clipboard Help+Spell!! Now, how cool is that!? I already have it and it's running and siitting in my notification area! I didn't know/remember that it had date functions. I'll have to go check it out (again! doh!)
Thanks for your reply and information!!!

If you install autohotkey you can use below script in any text field you want. Copy paste into a text file and change the extension to .ahk and then double click to run it.
All you need is typing "]d" "}d" etc. Just check out the script below. It is very easy. This will change or add the date on the fly no need for additional application. I originally found this script in one of the ahk documents btw. It is not my script but I use it everyday.
;script starts here
:*:]d:: ; This hotstring replaces "]d" with the current date and time via the commands below.
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, d/M/yyyy ;h:mm tt ; It will look like 9/1/2005 3:53 PM
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return
:*:}d::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, yyyy_M_d
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return
:*:)d::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, d_M_yyyy
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return
:*:*d::
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime,, M_d_yyyy
SendInput %CurrentDateTime%
return

:) Here's TimeStamp 2.1!
Use the tray menu or hotkeys to send user defined times and dates to the active window.
Doubleclick the tray icon to send the last used timestamp.
Use the Settings menu in the tray to change the timestamps and hotkeys.
Default hotkeys are F1 and F2.
