Get Time in hhmm format

Perhaps you could expand upon your GetTime command. Perhaps you could add the GetTimeUF command, which stands for GetTime into a Usable Format. When you run this new command, it would return the current time to the variable in a 4-digit hhmm format.

For example, instead of returning 12:47:18 PM, the new command would return 1247.

Another example, instead of returning 9:47:28 AM, the new command would return 0947 (4-digits).

Another example, instead of returning 3:50:12 PM, the new command would return 1550.

This would be especially useful for me. I know how to accomplish these same results by writing the appropriate script, but I still think it would be very helpful to have this new command. Additionally, I suppose you could add another command, GetTimeUFS, to incorporate seconds into the time variable.

Please see the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Min and Sec functions which let you create the date/time in any format you so wish.

Hour>hh
Min>mm
Let>MyPreferredTimeFormat=%hh%%mm%

You also have the full VBScript date/time functions.

Oops, sorry, I just came across your hour, min, sec commands. Are these new? I don't remember seeing them in Version 7. I just upgraded to Version 10.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the new commands!
