hi Folks, <br><br>Earlier in the day, somebody asked me how he could obtain "today date" using cmake. <br>I replied there was no direct way to obtain the date and I told him to use a macro I wrote. <br>See <a href="http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/CMake/Slicer3TodayMacro.cmake?rev=11898&view=log" target="_blank">http://viewvc.slicer.org/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/CMake/Slicer3TodayMacro.cmake?rev=11898&view=log</a><br>
<br>Is there a better a way to retrieve "today date" ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Not yet. But it would be a relatively easy feature to add to CMake if somebody wants to sponsor it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I envision a new cmake command, or an extension to an existing command (like string with a NOW or NOW_UTC arg...) that returns a complete timestamp string (something like "2010-08-04 14:00:44.235675 UTC") and/or the components of such a string as a cmake list ("2010;8;4;14;0;44;235675;UTC").</div>
