There is a repertoire of useful System Classes that helps you manipulate form, uploading, session, cookies, scheme settings and the file system. Details can be found in the BEE Script User Reference.
Here we show a trivial example of displaying the system time:
<script language="bee">
var hw = "Hello World";
display "<h1>{hw}
</h1>
";
display "The time now is {sys%time}.
";
</script>
The output is a ten-digit number (supposing you're doing it after Sep 2001). To make it readable, we can "convert" it with the Conversion "strftime":
display "The time now is {sys%time|strftime}.
";
This will output in a common format like "Sun Dec 15 10:59:05 2002". You can change it to suit your needs with a printf-like format string. e.g. {sys%time|strftime:%d/%m/%Y (%a)} shows "15/12/2002 (Sun)". You can even do this:
display "{sys%time|strftime:The time now is %d/%m/%Y (%a).
}";
