![*](bullet.gif)
Preceding a variable with a dot (.) results in replacing the variable with the current value. For example, {.dd} results in the current day, and {.hh} results in the current hour.

Preceding a variable with an underscore (_) results in replacing the variable with the file’s ending transfer time. For example, if a file was downloaded on Monday, and if the event triggered a “file rename” action with a value of
Report_{EEE} provided for the new file name,
ActiveTransfer Server would rename the downloaded file to Report_Mon.
