todays date journal

[moog3]

I've had this journal for years, and it's served me well.
It has options in the code for different output formats.
I now need it to output the date as 20/12/2022 which would be option (1) in the code
but....... it doesn't change the output from the option (2) which I've always used
Can someone help fix it?

The date format is partly controlled by the regional settings in Windows. Compare the output of the first example and third example on the page below:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.datetime.getdatetimeformats?view=net-6.0

You can set what regional/culture setting you want to use in your code, or you can create your own custom date format to be what you want.

Cowski,
I'm a real hack at this..... i read the article, and just played with it, eventually i got it to work with this line..

workPart.SetAttribute("DATE", TimeNoteString(0))

Thanks
