Forums Scripts & Popups Problem with an Identifier not working with /play

I have a little problem that I can't seem to solve on my own unfortunately.

I would like to play a specific 'topic' in a text file by using the date identifier $asctime() but it's not working the way I thought it would.

Here's the total line I want executed:


As you can see, I want to have a topic section of the text file marked as the year and month played into a channel where the command is being executed.

This is the output I currently get when trying this:

I was hoping to have the $asctime(yyyy-mm) section ending up becoming 2010-08 in the command.

Could anyone please help me resolve this problem?

Just a FYI, the text file with the data I want displayed is correctly formatted with the topic brackets. I have done similar stuff in the past with other commands. The command works fine when I substitute "$asctime(yyyy-mm)" with "2010-08" (or any other dates I have in the file).

Try putting a space after the -t. I haven't tried that switch, but other switches work fine with a space and it will let that evaluate correctly.

That didn't work either, but I did try that from your advice. Thanks for your reply though.

I'm still trying to solve it on my own. However, I hope I get some other replies. It helps to have more than one head on the problem.
