Printing short formate time to output window

[dmitry75]

Hello,

I need to print the current time in a short format: "08:30" ... "15:30" (without AM/PM and with "0" in "08:30"). "Print(Time[0].ToString()); gives the full date/time which I don't need." Would you please help?

Thank you.

Hello dmitry75,

Thank you for your post.

You can use TimeOfDay to achieve this:

Print(Time[0].TimeOfDay.ToString());

This will however keep the ':00' at the end of the time, you may wish to look into regular expression in .NET to alter strings: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hs600312.aspx

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you, actually I needed the real time, not the bar time. Maybe it would be useful to somebody:

Print (Bars.MarketData.Connection.Now.ToString("HH:mm");
