How to find today day in serverside scripting?

[keerthilatha]

Hi Team,

How can we find out day in server side scripting.For example, in 2016-12-13, I want to print '13'. Is there any functions to get the day.

Thanks & Regards,

Keerthi

Hi Keerthi, the last Friday Challenge was about it if you want to see some examples

Friday Challenge - 18 - Birthday and un-birthday

Of course, it'll be the "GlideDateTime" API which will give you the necessary functions to succeed

Hi Keerthi,

You can use gs.now() or GlideDate() methods to get the todays date and then by using substring method you can get the required number(year,month,date,day).

GlideDate and GlideDateTime examples

Thanks and regards

Just 2 lines will print the day of month: var gdt = new GlideDateTime(); gs.print(gdt.getDayOfMonth());
