Create a folder with date and time

hey yall. i'm working on a program to assign files to a created directory. for the sake of organization, i want to create a folder that is the date and time it was created. (ie c:\\new\\02-Jun-2008\\file.txt) i know i'm missing something. here's the code i have so far to create the folder:
Format formatter;
Date date = new Date();
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy_hh:mmaaa");
String s = formatter.format(date);
String path = "C:\\new\\";
String destination = path + s;
File d = new File(destination);
d.mkdirs();
i know its trivial for any advanced user but im only a student and any advise or useful links are great. i'll keep searching in the meanwhile. thanx.

got it myself. failed to remember NO : are allowed in windows. <sigh>

When I create a calendar, in iphoto 8, I had an information pane lower left corner with date and time of the picture. Can it possibly be that the iphoto developers forgot about that in iphoto 9? This was very helpful when placing images according to date.

Today I updated to the latest iphoto version. The update itself went smooth and nice as one is used to from Apple. But when I wanted to finish my already started calendar, I have encountered two problems. The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto. Instead I have to open the iphtoto library in aperture but then my calendar isn't there. So now I have to copy images back and forth. No problem.
However, the old iphoto had a small information area in the lower left corner which was very nice to place images on an exact date. This seems to be gone...?? Really? How am I supposed to sort images according to date and time when I have to back to the library view every time? That's not very convenient..Or am I missing something?
Thanks for ANY help!

The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

How to create a folder with date each day?

I've not used Automator, just once to "create" a workflow to create a new folder with a name; but what I want is this:
Each morning at 12:01 am, a new folder to be created with the correct date as the name of the folder.
So for tomorrow, Sunday 23 Nov 2008 at 12:01, I'd suddenly have a folder on my Hard Drive that would have the date like 23 Nov 2008 or 11/23/2008 or 23-11-2008 or similar.
Then at the end of a week I'd have 7 of these; - but I can manually trash them-- I want to create these on my HD since I backup via SuperDuper! each morning (automatically) at 3:35 am (incremental backup to an external La Cie HD) and I want to know if was done, so by having a folder with the date on it I can open the external HD and if I see that that folder with the recent date is there, then I'm confident the BackUp was run.
I have been able to create a workflow to create a folder in Automator, but not sure how to:
1. Have the folder created automatically each day at 12:01
2. How to have the folder label be the date
Thanks for any comments or certainly any other work-around or other way to do this or similar.
Regards, Steve

Open the AppleScript Editor. Copy the following into it:
set dt to date string of (current date)
set mth to word 2 of dt
set dy to word 3 of dt
set yr to word 4 of dt
set dtt to mth & " " & dy & " " & yr
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "Macintosh HD:Users:username:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
Amend the path with your Hard Disk name and username. Save as an application to anywhere suitable.
In iCal, set up an event with a daily repeat and an alarm at the time you want it: under 'Alarm' choose 'Open file': then in the next menu which will appear change from 'iCal' to 'Other' and navigate to your script. Enter the date and time.
Your folder will be created as required: iCal does not need to be running. This script gives the folder name as, for example, 'November 22 2008', but it's easy to amend the script if you want something a bit different - for example:
property zro : ""
set yr to year of (current date) as string
set dy to day of (current date)
set mt to month of (current date)
set dyy to dy as string
set nmm to the number of items in dyy
if nmm is 1 then
set zro to 0
end if
if mt is January then
set mth to "01"
else if mt is February then
set mth to "02"
else if mt is March then
set mth to "03"
else if mt is April then
set mth to "04"
else if mt is May then
set mth to "05"
else if mt is June then
set mth to "06"
else if mt is July then
set mth to "07"
else if mt is August then
set mth to "08"
else if mt is September then
set mth to "09"
else if mt is October then
set mth to "10"
else if mt is November then
set mth to "11"
else if mt is December then
set mth to "12"
end if
set dtt to mth & "-" & zro & dy & "-" & yr as string
tell application "Finder"
make new folder at alias "iBook HD:Users:roger:Desktop:" with properties {name:dtt}
end tell
This gives the folder name as, for example, 11-22-2008. (The days will have leading zeros, if you don't want these just remove the references to 'zro'.)

Problem with date and time syncing itouch to macbook

i have a problem with the date and time on ical when i sync my itouch4 w my macbookair. whatever i entered into my calendar in itouch will appear different in my ical( with a 6 hrs advance difference) and the alarm i set on my itouch in the calendar doesnt ring at the right time as set even though it is shown the time that i wanted.
Both my macbook n itouch are set to the same time zone and i have checked this many many times n the time is the same on both machine. but i just dont understand why is there a time difference when synced and my alarm just dont sound at the time it was supposedly set. it rings hours later n showing a different time that it was set but in the parenthesis the right time that i had set it.
One time my computer ran out of battery n went into sleep mode and when i open it again, the time n date setting was all off. which im surprised why it had gone off. So did this create the problem i have now with the date n time sync or something else?
please help!!!!

Having the same problem, & am running Parallels (which I haven't used for some time) not boot camp. I tick the box labeled "Set time automatically" & lock the "click the lock to make changes". When I reboot, the Lock is unlocked and the "set time...." is unticked. Any ideas. Cheers.

Create condition based on date and time

Hi everyone,
I'm using Discoverer Plus 10g. I want to create a condition in my worksheet using StageTime (consists of date and time) as the parameter, i.e. StageTime > StartTimeParameter and StageTime < EndTimeParameter.
I am able to create condition based on the date, but unable to create based on the time. I need to limit the data up to the hour, e.g.
StageTime > 11-NOV-2005 1 AM and StageTime < 11-NOV-2005 3 AM.
But so far I am unable to create a condition for the hour element.
I try to use this:
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(:Start Date Parameter,'mm-dd-yyyy')||' '||:Start Hour||':00:00','mm-dd-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
Start Date Parameter is selected using the date picker in Discoverer Plus
and the Start Hour is in the format '00' to '23'
but was prompted with the error: ORA-015858 a non numeric character was found where a numeric was expected.
Would really appreciate anyone's help on this! :)
Thanks,
Angeline :)

how about, if :Start Date Parameter is of type DATE and :Start Hour is of type varchar2(2) to simply do
:Start Date Parameter + to_number(:Start Hour)/24
?

Issue with Date and Time Picker on Windows 8.1 and Office 2013

We are having a issue with the Developer tool in Excel called the Date and Time Picker which puts a calendar field into the spreadsheet where you can select a date from the calendar popup
If we change this date field and then save and close and reopen it reverts back to the previous date before the change was made
If we do the same process on a Windows 7 machine with Office 2013 it saves the changes we made to the Date and Time picker field

Hi jdono2,
I'm using Windows 8 and Office 2013,and I can't reproduce this issue.
Please make sure you have already upgraded to the latest version of excel, try to reregister the MSCOMCT2.OCX.
Also you can try to use another date picker add-in to test this issue.

Dear forum,

There is some debugging info on the website. I've had problems getting the text to work. It was generally that I installed either the wrong 'version' of ImageMagick (the recommended one works for me--I'm running Vista x64 and one time installed the x64 version and it didn't work). I also installed Ghostscript to get the font list to work correctly. At one time I installed the x64 version of Ghostscript and it didn't work with the plug-in, either.
I installed two items:
ImageMagick: ImageMagick-6.4.9-3-Q16-windows-dll.exe
Ghostscript: gs863w32.exe
I don't know if it is necessary but I also added the fonts from
ghostscript-fonts-std-8.11.tar.gz to the c:\Program Files (x86)\gs\fonts directory. Some, none, perhaps all, may already be installed just by installing ghostscript--it has been so long that I don't remember exactly. I do know that the contents of the gs fonts directory contains all the files in the .gz, I just don't remember if I put them there separately or as part of the gs install :)
You need to make sure the font size is large enough. I usually use about 2-4% of height and export a single photo to make sure I see the text correctly.

It was quite a comprehisive one. I think i found it on this forum only, but not able to find it now. Can someone please help me find one such comprehensive script.
Currently I am using this script.. which is also good.. but does not have the date and time stamp on it. Is there something better.?

What Brian said is true so are your sure your query was not just reporting the start time of the current transaction from v$transaction.start_time, or the start time of the session: v$session.logon_time, or perhaps the time since the last database call (v$session.last_call_et) which for an active session would be the time the current SQL statement has been running?

Name of the file (in utl_file) with date and time

Instead of the below:
vHandle1 := utl_file.fopen('/home/oracle/testdir', 'test.csv', 'W');
I want something like this:
vHandle1 := utl_file.fopen('/home/oracle/testdir', 'test19dec200611.35.csv', 'W');
i.e the name of the file should have the date and time too so that every time the original is not overwritten.
Is this possible?

OR maybe we can use this:
utl_file.frename('/home/oracle/testdir','test.csv,'/home/oracle/testdir','test'||to_char(sysdate,'DDMONYYYYHH24:MI')||'.csv',TRUE);
Will it work?
Can we download this file and open it through oracle (and not any front end like ASP etc.)

Need help with date and time calculations please

Hello there.. Im stuck, and im hoping someone can help..
Working on a list to manage and track PTO. User completes PTO request form,
Fields
Name
Start Date (with time)
End Date (with time)
Total Number of Days/hours requested: (calculation)
Full Day: (Yes/No)
ok business need
user has the ability to request a certain number of hours as opposed to a full day.
After searching around on google. I found this calculation to help me figure out how many BUSINESS days being requested.
=IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")),"",(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d"))+1-INT(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))<0,2,0)-IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY([End
Date])=7,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=1,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1)),1,0)-IF(AND(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1,(WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))>0),1,0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),WEEKDAY([End Date])=7),1,0))
This works great as long as its a [Full Day]="YES", displays results in column labeled Number of days
now if [Full Day]="No", displays results in column labeled Number of Hours
BUT this is my issue (well part of it) it calcuate the correct number of hours.. but puts a "1" in "Number of Days" why.. dates have not changed.. I think Its something with the above calculation but I could be way off.
the end result is I need number of days to concat with number of hours
i.e 1 full day 4 hours 1.4
0 full day 5 hours 0.5
1 full day 0 hours 1.0
so that the total can be deducted via workflow.. from the remaining balance in a tracker. (seperate list)
Any angels out there??

Date and time for background job

Hi,
I am creating a program with out selection screen . This program runs based on date and time . so I need to create a table
with date and time fileds.
Program runs based on FROM DATE FROM TIME TO DATE TO TIME....... FROM DATE and FROM TIME will get it from ztable and TO DATE & TO TIME values as SY-DATUM & SY-UZEIT. In the end I will update sy-datum and sy-uzeit values in the custom table to get the values ( Use it for from date from time ) for next run of the program.
This program is mainly used for background job so how do we get the values of from date and from time for the first run of the program ? how do we update the latest date and time details by deleting old date and time details.
Thanks ,
Vinay.
Edited by: Vinay parakala on Apr 22, 2010 9:18 AM

First of all, I'll suggest to maintain TVARVC instead of doing it in custom table unless you need a complete log.
As per my understanding, you are trying to fetch some records based on the time period(Delta loads).
So, you will do an initial run to load the complete data then you will run it for time periods. For example,
1st Load- 01/01/1991(earliest date possible) - today's date say 03/22/2010
2nd load- 03/22/2010 - today's date
so on............
You have to move the to date values to from date values and to date value needs to be updated by the latest one for each load.
Do you have any dependency on background job? Please let me know if my understanding is correct or specify your requirement in detail.

How to provide date and time stamp to the extracted file.

I 'm downloading data from DB to Flat file using GUI_DOWLOAD. whenever it is executed it is creating with a file name.
if i rerun the program the file is overwriting with the same name.
now based on the requirement how many times i executed, that many times file should be individually created and should be added with date and time stamp.
like
if when i executed at the very first time it should saved with filename, date and time.
say "Address.txt 04/05/2007 07:55:10"
When i executed it for second time it doesn't overwrite the file.
it should create a new file.
like "Address.txt 04/05/2007 07:59:20".
Please guide me the way if possible code.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vamsi,
               Use FM 'F4_PROGRAM' to take file from the user .
In this case user will enter the file name. u can append date & time to that file path.
Refer this code.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
    EXPORTING
      PROGRAM_NAME = SY-REPID
      DYNPRO_NUMBER = SYST-DYNNR
    IMPORTING
      FILE_NAME     = P_P_FILE.
concatenate P_FILE '04/05/2007 07:59:20' into V_FILE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                        = v_file
     filetype                        = 'ASC'
      write_field_separator           = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab                        = i_tab
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
    MESSAGE i002.
ENDIF.

SSRS Date and time Parameter

Hi Forumers'
Im trying to design a report in SSRS with date and time parameters
I would like to combined the fromdate,fromtime and stored the value to @Fromdatetime and
same with also todate,totime into @ToDatetime. i will used this in a where clause condition.
can you give me guys an idea. btw, i'm using Text queries not stored procedure.
Right now I tried this query but i got an error.
The variable name '@FromDatetime' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure.
DECLARE @fromDateTime as datetime, @toDateTime as datetime
SET @fromdatetime = dbo.getCombinedDateTime(@fromDate,@fromTime)
SET @todatetime = dbo.getCombinedDateTime(@toDate,@toTime)
Select
v.JOURNALID
,v.TRANSDATE
,v.ITEMID
,v.QTY
,v.COSTAMOUNT
,v.JOURNALTYPE
,v.BOMLINE
From INVENTJOURNALTRANS v with (nolock)
Where v.TRANSDATE between @FromDatetime and @ToDatetime
and v.JOURNALTYPE=3
and v.BOMLINE=0
Thank you.
jov

Hope this will help you. Set a parameter for @timezoneoffset= 8, including the startdate, Enddate, StartTime, EndTime and FromDatetime and ToDatetime. Then in your dateset properties navigate to parameters then in the parameter value of @FromDatetetime
and ToDatetime you created you will combine the @Startdate and Starttime:
by the way,   @timezoneoffset, set this as hidden in parameter visibility, then in default values under specify values place the 8.
Here we go:
In your parameters you have the following data:
StartDate:             Starttime:
EndDate:               EndTime:
in your dataset properies under expression of @FromDatetime and @Todatetime you have to combine the parameter you setup.
@FromDatetime
=Parameters!StartDate.Value &" "&Parameters!Starttime
@Todatetime
=Parameters!EndDate.Value &" "&Parameters!Endtime
In your select statement you have to do like this.
SELECT * FROM WHERE DATEADD(HOUR,convert(int,@timezoneOffset), pt.CREATEDDATETIME) BETWEEN (@fromDateTime)
AND (@toDateTime)
