Printing date

[arbuthnot]

Hi everyone

To carry out some historical tests, I know how to print out Open[0], Close[0], etc., to the Output window.

But I'd also like to be able to print - with the price data - the date (not the time, which I don't need, as I'll be using 'Bars.BarsSinceSession') of the bar, not as an integer, but in the usual format, such as today's date

April 17 2013

or

4/17/13

Is this possible? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hello,

The Time[0] function is going to give you both the Date and the Time.

If all you need is the Date format and not the time, you can override this string to customize the output you want.

For example, Time[0].ToString("D") would output : Monday, April 15, 2013

You can do more customization to format this however you like. Please have a look at the following links for information on this:

Thanks very much, Matthew, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I've also learnt a lot more about printing and the various formats available.
