| Inserts the date and time at the cursor point, in the format of the current locale.

| As a workaround, you could write a single script line directly at the prompt. For example, in VBS:
/world.send "say The current time here is: " & now()
Here's a couple of things I did mostly for fun:
<aliases>
<alias
script="Reverse_String"
match="*!REV*"
enabled="y"
ignore_case="y"
>
</alias>
<alias
script="Evaluate"
match="^(.*?)Eval\[(.*?)\](.*?)$"
enabled="y"
regexp="y"
ignore_case="y"
>
</alias>
</aliases>
Sub Reverse_String (AliasName, AliasLine, arrWildcards)
If arrWildcards(1) = " " Then
World.LogSend StrReverse(arrWildcards(2))
Else
World.LogSend arrWildcards(1) & StrReverse(arrWildcards(2))
End If
End Sub
Sub Evaluate (AliasName, AliasLine, arrWildcards)
World.LogSend arrwildcards(1) & Eval(ArrWildcards(2)) & Arrwildcards(3)
End Sub
The first reverses everything after the point where !REV is used on a line. The second Evaluates any math on a line where I used Eval[]. You could easily do something similar to the second, but instead match on text and replace it with the value of the VBS "Now" function. |
