The Time macro uses the name Time and returns the current time (day, month, year, AM/PM in any combination - see below).

 

The syntax for this macro is %[Time] for the standard Windows format or %[Time]:<Parameter>] for custom formats.

 

The <parameter> value is a standard Windows <time formatting string>. Available parameters are detailed below:

 

h returns the hours and omits the zero in cases of single-digit values.

hh returns the hours and includes a zero in cases of single-digit values.

H or HH returns the hours, includes a zero in cases of single-digit values and uses a 24 hour-clock when applicable.

m returns the minutes and omits the zero in cases of single-digit values.

mm returns the minutes and includes a zero in cases of single-digit values.

s returns the seconds and omits the zero in cases of single-digit values.

ss returns the seconds and includes a zero in cases single-digit values.

t returns a single character to reference the a.m./p.m. variable, such as A/P.

tt returns two characters to reference the a.m/p.m. variable, such as AM/PM.
