Maybe there's a better way but I just do this.
```
import std;
void main()
{
const now = Clock.currTime();
enum pattern = "%d.%02d.%02d %02d:%02d:%02d";
writefln(pattern, now.year, now.month, now.day, now.hour,
now.minute, now.second);
}
```

Oh, ok, thanks for your answer. 2011/11/4 Jonathan M Davis jmdavisp...@gmx.com: On Thursday, November 03, 2011 16:58 Lishaak Bystroushaak wrote: Hello.

SysTime (and the other time point types in std.datetime) have functions for converting them to specific ISO standards but not custom formatting strings. That's in the works but hasn't been completed yet. In the meantime, you can get a time_t from a SysTime using its unixTime property and pass that to C's strftime (though be warned that it risks being an hour off on Windows, since for some bizarre reason Windows applies DST to UTC such that time_t on Windows isn't actually guaranteed to always be the number of seconds since midnight January 1st, 1970 in UTC). Another alternative is that someone ported the deprecated std.dateparse (which worked with the deprecated and very broken std.date) to use SysTime, and you can use that: https://gist.github.com/1283011 toCustomString will be added to SysTime and the other time point types in std.datetime, but its design hasn't been completed sorted out yet, let alone fully implemented, so it's in the works, but it could be a little while before it makes it into Phobos. - Jonathan M Davis
