Re: Fatal bug in strftime?

[Peter Toye]

David,

Thanks. Hardly worth the effort! I think I'll just try to ignore my allergy to leading zeroes in dates. Or not do any engraving 1-9 of the month.

I'm no LISP expert, apart from knowing that it stands for Lots of Irritating Surplus Parentheses.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter, > When I try to use the %e format to get rid of leading zeros in the date, lilypond crashes out. As a workaround, you could just use %d and check for a leading zero, replacing it with a space.  Something like this: \header {   title = "title"   composer = "no-one"   tagline = \markup {     Engraved     \simple #(let ((date (strftime "%d/%m/%Y" (localtime (current-time)))))                 (if (string-prefix? "0" date)                     (string-append " " (string-drop date 1))                     date))     with \with-url #"http://lilypond.org/"     \line { LilyPond \simple #(lilypond-version) (http://lilypond.org/) }   } } { c d e f } Modifications would have to be made if you want the day in other than the leading position. Anyway, hope this helps. -David
