Creating rsc file with identity/date/time

RouterOS Scripting

Hi,

I’m currently trying to export all secrets in /ppp secret into a file with $identity$date$time as name.
The code is as follows

:global date ([:pick [/system clock get date] 0 12]);
:global time ([:pick [/system clock get time] 0 9]);
:local fileName (.[system identity get name]"$date""$time")
:local rsc $fileName
/ppp secret export file=$rsc;

But it only outputs files with the time as name. :confused:
Can anyone tell me why it would do so?
THX

Try this:
:local fileName ([system identity get name] . “". [:pick [/system clock get date] 0 12] . "”. [:pick [/system clock get time] 0 9] . “.rsc”)
/ppp secret export file=$rsc;

The problem is that the date contains slashes (‘/’) and this is an invalid character in a filename because it is the directory-filename separator.
So you must do more picking to get only the variable data and not the separator characters from the date.

Thank you for your hints, now it works.

:global date ([:pick [/system clock get date] 0 3] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 4 6] . [:pick [/system clock get date] 7 11]);
:global time ([:pick [/system clock get time] 0 9]);
:local fileName ([/system identity get name]."_".$date."_".$time.".rsc")
:local rsc $fileName
