Date Time Conversion

[javed khan Siddque]

Hi All,

I want to convert the below time to human readable format, i tried some of the jinza formatter but it is failing .

Failed
{{ iso_date|iso8601_to_time|datetimeformat('%a, %B %d') }}

requirement 2023-07-20 16:36:44

So i can convert this to <file_name>_2023_07_20_16_36_44 .txt

"created": "2023-07-20T16:36:44.396234Z", "modified": "2023-07-20T16:37:26.400464Z",

I would use `regex_replace` instead -

```
    - debug:
        msg: '{{ iso_date |regex_replace("(\d{4})\-(\d{2})\-(\d{2})\ (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})", "\1_\2_\3_\4_\5_\6.txt") }}'
      vars:
        iso_date: "2023-07-20 16:36:44"

```

      path: /tmp/"{{ now(fmt="%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S.txt") }}"

should be

      path: /tmp/{{ now(fmt="%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S.txt") }}

cool I see thank you!  but how do you avoid the special characters in the file name?  like so.
' "2023_07_26_14_34_22.txt" '
