Feature Request - Wildcards

[Watermark_JS]

The audio engineering software I use has AMAZING wildcard-based file naming options (see pic).

Even just the ability to auto-add a datetime stamp would be fantastic...

Look at STRPRINT and use the resulting string variable as your file name.  Is that what you are looking for?

FmtDate($Now) "_" FmtTime($Now) ".csv"


STRPRINT has more capabilities than what macro expansion can do.  See the attached screen shot of the STRPRINT commands

Franji -- No.  I was referring to saving the project in the DoMore Designer. 

I name my project files something like [project]_[date]_[time], which is why I like the wildcard options in that audio software.  Storing that information in the file name protects against loss of tracking if the file gets relocated.

Originally, I was trying to just use the version in the project properties, but that felt like additional overhead -- having to open an additional window -- and that data doesn't appear to be exposed to a File Explorer view.

Franji -- No.  I was referring to saving the project in the DoMore Designer.

Ha!  That makes more sense.  I know I do that a lot with my work in various editors (including Designer).

Do-more PLCs also support a file system, so I thought you were referring to that (for file names IN the PLC).

FYI, the Auto Save feature does something similar (so a backup mechanism to your backup mechanism).  It defaults to just 4 backups, though.  You can change it to be UNLIMITED via the File->Manage Projects->Restore from Backup... dialog and hit the "Configure Autosave..." button (there's a similar button on the File->Manage Projects->Folder Settings... dialog)

See the attached screen shot.
