a useful script to format the date: _curDate = date; private _ddMMyyyy = format ["%3/%2/%1", _curDate select 0, (if (_curDate select 1 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (_curDate select 1), (if (_curDate select 2 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (_curDate select 2) ]; it can be shortened to: (no intermediary variable but more request to date) private _ddMMyyyy = format ["%3/%2/%1", date select 0, (if (date select 1 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (date select 1), (if (date select 2 < 10) then { "0" } else { "" }) + str (date select 2) ]; EDIT: or to private _ddMMyyyy = format ["%4%5/%2%3/%1", date select 0, ["", "0"] select (date select 1 < 10), date select 1, ["", "0"] select (date select 2 < 10), date select 2 ];
