Lou Montana: a useful command here: _curDate = date; _ddMMyyyy = format ["%3/%2/%1", _curDate select 0, (if (_curDate select 1 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (_curDate select 1), (if (_curDate select 2 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (_curDate select 2)]; it can be shortened to: (no variable but more request to date) _ddMMyyyy = format ["%3/%2/%1", date select 0, (if (date select 1 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (date select 1), (if (date select 2 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (date select 2)];
