I am looking to issue a 'System cmd' that will echo the results into
a new variable -- can anyone tell me the correct way to do this?
example: at the terminal I am currently able to issue this command:
echo | date > date.txt
I end up with a file called date.txt with the contents: Mon Aug 29
18:32:45 EDT 2005
I would like to issue a command in my dialplan that puts the date
into a new variable something like this:
System(echo | date > Set(newVariableName=theDateEchoReturns)
So that the newVariableName=Mon Aug 29 18:32:45 EDT 2005
The objective in this case is to format the date according to the
Unix Time format listed above. I am certainly open to other options
for doing this. The default ${TIMESTAMP} format doesn't work for my
needs.
Thanks!
