Re: [orca-list] Date and time spokening format question

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hi Attila,

Yes, to get the results not to be padded, it seems that one should use dash

try %-H:%-M

I am not sure if it is cross platform, but when i typed man date and looked there, it was mensioned, and when 
trying it from python it works fine too.

Hope this helps.
