Usage

Value

The current timestamp in always the same format. #'

Arguments

no_spaces

Boolean. Default = `FALSE`. Specifies whether the output can contain spaces or not. E.g. if the output is for human reading, `no_spaces = FALSE` is a good option. As suffix for file names (e.g. logfiles), `no_spaces = TRUE` might be a good option.

Examples

Run this code
get_current_timestamp(no_spaces = TRUE)
# Result: "2020-12-03-134354"
get_current_timestamp()
# this is the same like
get_current_timestamp(no_spaces = FALSE)
# Result: "03.12.2020 - 13:43 UTC"
