I want to receive the today Date text using ' . '(dot) form like '2021. 8. 30.' 

So I tried Set variable Value and receive the today date using aqDateTime.Today() code expression. 

but that method use ' - ' form. (2021-08-30)

Thank you. .....

But I don't know how I use  'aqDateTime.Today' with 'aqString.Replace'.

1. I wanna input text 'today's date(year, month, day) 

2. so I used aqDateTime.Today() code expression

3. So i got '2021-08-31' text

4. But What I need form is '2021. 8. 31' form. 

5. So I must use the 'aqString.Replace()'

6. But I don't know how I arrage or use this code expression... 

Please give me solutions............

You got close! Put aqReplace on the outside and use aqDateTime.Today() as the string input.

Thank you! I finally did it change '-' to '.' 
So i got '2021.09.01' form.

But Finally What I wanna do is.. '2021. 9. 1.' form..

So at last result, I need to change '0' to 'blank'. 

is this possible ..?

Try it and see!  That's the best way.  If it doesn't turn out the way that you want it, then show us what you did and tell us how the result was different from what you wanted.

I need     2021. 9. 9.   today form. 

So I tried many times. 

First, I replaced "-" to "." 

Second, I removed "0". 

So Finally got   221. 9. 9.    Form. 

But I need 2021. 9. 9.   form... 

How can I solve this...?

Search for .0
and replace it with . and a space

That will keep it from seeing the 0 in the year

Hi,

Consider the aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr() method (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqconvert/datetimetoformat...).

(I think that something like aqConvert.DateTimeToFormatStr(aqDateTime.Today(), "%Y.%#m.%#d") should work for you.)
