Date format function

Hi Folks!
When I was debugging my EA orders I wanted to print when they was created. But the OrderOpenTime() function returns timestamp number so it is hard to read the date from it without any tool or conversion. So I made a nice function that convert eg. 12313132 into a string like 2006.03.12 12:33 so it can be read very easy.

Here it is:

Code:

string dateFormat(int timestamp)
{
   string m,d,h,mi;
   
   int month = TimeMonth(timestamp);
   int day = TimeDay(timestamp);
   int hour = TimeHour(timestamp);
   int minute = TimeMinute(timestamp);
   
   if(month<10)
   m = "0"+month;
   else
   m = month;
   
   if(day<10)
   d = "0"+day;
   else
   d = day;
   
   if(hour<10)
   h = "0"+hour;
   else
   h = hour;
   
   if(minute<10)
   mi = "0"+minute;
   else
   mi = minute;
   
   
   return(StringConcatenate(TimeYear(timestamp),".",m,".",d," ",h,":",mi));
}

U can use it as u want

hope it will be helpfull for someone.
Cheers
