Hi,
I want to automate the creation of an appointment in my webmail program and I am using :
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=NAME:newAppointmentForm ATTR=ID:newappointment_description CONTENT=Test<SP>Appointment<SP>!NOW:ddmmyy_hhmmss
Unfortunately the !NOW part is not translated into the current time but simply entered as string so the subject of the appointment reads "Test Appointment !NOW:ddmmyy_hhmmss".
Any advice how I can fix this?
Thanks
Martin
!NOW does not print time but is printed as string

Re: !NOW does not print time but is printed as string
Use
{{!NOW:ddmmyy_hhmmss}}
Instead of
!NOW:ddmmyy_hhmmss
{{!NOW:ddmmyy_hhmmss}}
Instead of
!NOW:ddmmyy_hhmmss

Re: !NOW does not print time but is printed as string
Hi,
it worked. thanks a lot.
do you have any idea where iMacro gets the time from it replaces !NOW with?
i am asking because the time that was entered was 220104 even though he had 22:58, so i am a bit confused about this. i was playing the macro in FF if that helps.
cheers

Re: !NOW does not print time but is printed as string
Use nn for Minutes, as mm is used for Month
Here in your case "220104" 01 is showing month, not minutes.
So finally your command would be like {{!NOW:ddmmyy_hhnnss}}
