solved [SOLVED] Time format for snippet as hh:mm (am/pm)

[Fira]

Hey fabulous Alfred users,

 

Could you please help me with what's the Snippet for the Current Time for the format  "hh:mm (am/pm)".  The current snippet I'm using is {time}, which gives time in the format "11:22:01 AM".  I would like to drop the seconds from this format and just have the Hours and Minutes.

 

Thanks for your help!

@Fira Here are a few which should help out:

 

24h formatting without am/pm:

{date:HH:mm}

 

12h formatting with am/pm:

{date:h:mm a}

 

Let me know how you get on

 

Cheers,

Andrew

Yay!  That works! 

 

Thanks, Andrew : )

 

Is there someplace that I could have looked up for that (or figured it out) without asking for it in the forum?

 

Cheerio,

Fira

Yes. Alfred has pretty good documentation.

Thanks Victor.  However in the link that you shared, I couldn't find the format :

or have I missed something?  Or was there a way to figure this format out given the documentation there already?  

 

If not, that's fine too, I just wanted to learn what I could have tried differently before posting here.

 

I really Appreciate the help!

 

Cheerio!

@Fira It's part of "Advanced Date Formatting using Unicode formats" which links to this page:

 

http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-31/tr35-dates.html#Date_Format_Patterns

 

The formatting itself is a unicode standard, there are plenty of examples on that page. I'll add a note to add more examples on our own help page

 

Cheers,

Andrew
