asterisk users - May 2008 - Escape characters or replace function

Hello,

I need to use the ${DATETIME} macro inside the filename saved by Record, 
but the colons (':') used in the time interfere with the command 
(everything after the colon is interpreted as the format I wish to save to):

My command is:
Record(/path/to/voicemail/${EXTEN}-${DATETIME}-${UNIQUEID}:wav)

I need some function to escape the colons inside DATETIME... I'm sure 
it's something really basic, but I couldn't find it

Use ${STRFTIME()} instead to get the format that you want and do not
include colons in the format.  "core show function STRFTIME" should
give
you the details on this dialplan function.
