now is by default, if you just use strftime. Try eval ${strftime()} Do you know how to print now in milliseconds like: <action application="set" data="var_name=${utcnow}"/> On Wed, 9 Nov 2022 at 10:22, Antony Stone < Antony.Stone@freeswitch.open.source.it> wrote:

Antony, would strftime [format_string] do the job?
Quite possibly, provided I can find a value of "now" to format with it.

Antony,
This sounds like a job for a module, especially that you mentioned you would like to upload/send it somewhere and combine it with data from other services. You create a module that exports one or more applications, you can call them from dialplan.
best,

Hm, this sounds like an interesting and important conceptual aspect of the way FreeSwitch works which I suspect I haven't fully "got".
Can you point me at the documentation which explains this, for people who are more used to procedural programming, and show how we should be thinking about FreeSwitch dialplans instead?
I'm certainly keen on using FreeSwitch in as efficient a manner as possible :)
Antony.
