Environment Vars from your computer
%ComSpec% => C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
%FP_NO_HOST_CHECK%
%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%
%OS%
%Path%
%PATHEXT%
%PROCESSOR_xxx%
%TEMP% => C:\DOKUME~1\<CurrentUserName>\LOKALE~1\Temp
%TMP% => usely the same as TEMP
%windir% => C:\WINDOWS

You can test this env vars in an DOS-Box with the echo-command like:
C:\>echo %ComSpec%

or by using the command set:
C:\>set

then you will find more env vars to use with HippoEDIT:

Some more vars, here for creating date strings,
currently only support in "def_spec.xml"
as like:
<Insert format="%d.%m.%Y %H:%M"/>  Read more...

This vars should be accessible everywhere inside of HE too.


    %a        Abbreviated weekday name
    %A        Full weekday name
    %b        Abbreviated month name
    %B        Full month name
    %c        Date and time representation appropriate for locale
    %d        Day of month as decimal number (01 – 31)
    %H        Hour in 24-hour format (00 – 23)

First try to reorganize the vars, here brainstorming only!!!

I have made vars that are not that important a bit longer,
to save short var names if we need them for later use.
Just an first try.........

[Arthur]

IMHO
%Month% %M%
-  should also include %MM% notation for say Feb as 02 and %M% for 2
%Day% %D%
-  same as above
%Hour% %H% (new)
- should be as above with an option to display the hours in North American notation e.g. 03:40 PM

Probably we can also use case sensitive vars as Y and y for some cases (in addition to multi chars), it can save characters But do not not is it intuitive enough.

and also maybe we can take into account to have for some mostly used vars short form and for some rare used long form, but more explanatory. But here I am not sure, what would be better...
