It is possible to perform macro substitution in the configuration options by using the + sign to indicate string concatenation between macros and literal quoted strings. Each + sign must be surrounded by a space.
The available macros are :
• %year The 2 digit year: ie 12 for 2012
• %month The 2 digit month: ie 02 for February
• %month_abbreviation The 3 character month abbreviation: ie Feb for Ferbruary
• %day The 2 digit day of the month
• %weekday The 2 digit day of the week: ie Sunday is 0 and Saturday is 6
• %wday_abbreviation The 3 character day of the week: ie Sunday is Sun
• %hour The 2 digit hour of the day
• %minute The 2 digit minute of the day
• %step The last filename processed by step
• %step[#] The period separated token from the filename (starts with 0) IE: fileid.dat.Z.pgp, %step[0] = fileid, %step[2] = Z…
• %job_details The step result strings for every step processed so far
• %job_name The current jobs name
• %step_name The name of the currently executing step
Example Usage
Macro substitution is performed using the Robo-FTP SET script command. See the documentation on that command for further details.
