Hi @ulrich @Plankton

I need to convert 2 javascript code created with storeEval To executeScript_Sandbox

First storeEval code (return date):

var d = new Date(); var m = ((d.getMonth()+1)<10) ? “0” + (d.getMonth()+1):(d.getMonth()+1); var day=d.getDate()<10 ? “0” + d.getDate():d.getDate(); day + “-” + m + “-” + d.getFullYear();

Second storeEval code (return time):

let d = new Date(); let h = d.getHours(); h = h < 10 ? “0” + h : h; let m = d.getMinutes(); m = m < 10 ? “0” + m : m; let s = d.getSeconds(); s = s < 10 ? “0” + s : s; h + “-” + m + “-” + s;

With storeEval working and show Date And Time in a prefered format i need to use it with new executeScript_Sandbox command.

Thanks

Hi @newuserkantu. All you have to do is add return to your last statement. That’s the only difference with excecuteScript_Sandbox. Also confused me at first.

var d = new Date(); var m = ((d.getMonth()+1)<10) ? “0” + (d.getMonth()+1):(d.getMonth()+1); var day=d.getDate()<10 ? “0” + d.getDate():d.getDate(); return day + “-” + m + “-” + d.getFullYear();

and

let d = new Date(); let h = d.getHours(); h = h < 10 ? “0” + h : h; let m = d.getMinutes(); m = m < 10 ? “0” + m : m; let s = d.getSeconds(); s = s < 10 ? “0” + s : s; return h + “-” + m + “-” + s;

The command storeEval is deprecated. Better executescript or executescript_Sandbox. The second “return” is wrong in the post by william19.

  "Name": "test-date",
  "CreationDate": "2019-10-4",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
      "Target": "var d = new Date();var m = ((d.getMonth()+1)<10) ? \"0\" + (d.getMonth()+1):(d.getMonth()+1);var day=d.getDate()<10 ? \"0\" + d.getDate():d.getDate();return day + \"-\" + m + \"-\" + d.getFullYear();",
      "Value": "text1"
    },
    {
      "Command": "executeScript_Sandbox",
      "Target": "let d = new Date(); let h = d.getHours(); h = h < 10 ? \"0\" + h : h; let m = d.getMinutes(); m = m < 10 ? \"0\" + m : m; let s = d.getSeconds(); s = s < 10 ? \"0\" + s : s; return h + \"-\" + m + \"-\" + s;",
      "Value": "text2"
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${text1}",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "echo",
      "Target": "${text2}",
      "Value": ""
    }
  ]
}

Output:
