%a

%I

%j
Day of year as decimal number (001 – 366)

%m

id#=2974886458

An example of the "cc2_timedate.ini" file would be:


[time00]
id=1271088632
format="%a %d %b %Y"

[time01]
id=3124516610
format="%I:%M:%S %p"


The current date, as a decimal number, is now included in the latest release of CC2. CC2 now has a countdown function. Nice!
