Timestamp Format String

Since version 2.2 you can set a format string for representing date and time.

A formatting string is similar to the printf formatting string (from C/C++ programming language). Formatting codes, preceded by a percent (%) sign, are replaced by SecureSafe. Other characters in the formatting string are copied unchanged. See the following list for details:

• %a: Abbreviated weekday name
• %A: Full weekday name
• %b: Abbreviated month name
• %B: Full month name
• %c: Date and time representation appropriate for locale
• %d: Day of month as decimal number (01 – 31)
• %H: Hour in 24-hour format (00 – 23)
• %I: Hour in 12-hour format (01 – 12)
• %j: Day of year as decimal number (001 – 366)
• %m: Month as decimal number (01 – 12)
• %M: Minute as decimal number (00 – 59)
• %p: Current locale's A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock
• %S: Second as decimal number (00 – 59)
• %U: Week of year as decimal number, with Sunday as first day of week (00 – 53)
• %w: Weekday as decimal number (0 – 6; Sunday is 0)
• %W: Week of year as decimal number, with Monday as first day of week (00 – 53)
• %x: Date representation for current locale
• %X: Time representation for current locale
• %y: Year without century, as decimal number (00 – 99)
• %Y: Year with century, as decimal number
• %z, %Z: Either the time-zone name or time zone abbreviation, depending on registry settings; no characters if time zone is unknown
• %%: Percent sign
