I am trying to create a new variable using the dateformat function. Everything works and shows like I want it to except for the minute. Any clues?

<CFSET NewFileName = #DateFormat(Now(),"yyyymmddhhns")#>

<cfoutput>#NewFileName#</cfoutput> Results of output 2006090803n37

I do not want any spaces in the output

I changed the code to:

<CFSET FileDate = #DateFormat(Now(),"yyyymmdd")#>
<CFSET FileTime = #timeformat(Now(),"hhmms")#>

and all works fine.

Using just dateformat? How do you do that?

The dateformat formats dates not times, timeformat is for time. You
probably want something like this:
#dateformat(now(),"dd/mm/yyyy")# #timeformat(now(),"hh:mm:ss")#

Note that both use 'mm', but for different values for their formating.

The timeformat function comes to mind. How are you doing the hours without it?

the hours and seconds come back find, just not the minute
