Timestamps or portions of timestamps are frequently added to file names. The following examples show how time stamps can be appended to files and how file names can be searched for specific timestamps.
Exhibit 14.5. Example for using timestamps
gettimestamp ~my_timestamp; # generate current timestamp
foreach $local_item in @local_list begin
strprint ~new_name, ~my_timestamp, "_", $item.name; #prepend timestamp to file name
end
gettimestamp ~my_timestamp, decr, day, 1; #generate timestamp that is a day old
foreach $local_item in @local_list begin
strprint ~search_name, "*", ~my_timestamp, "*"; #generate search string
if ~search_name eq $local_item.name begin
#search for files with this timestamp as part of their filename
end
end
