Three quotes, which would have produced a compile error. Your slash in the filename could be you writing a date like 11/27 or it may have been intentional and you wanted the month as [part of] the folder name. Anyway, moving on.

One more question...

If I build a path on globally with a time stamp in it, I'm guessing it will make the path, but its not being told to update the time stamp in the path, so unless the plugin/server restarts, would it forever use the time stamp it generated when it the plugin originally loaded? (does that make sense?)

e.g.

new String:sMainPath[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH];
FormatTime(sMainPath, sizeof(sMainPath), "pt_%m-%d.log"); 
BuildPath(Path_SM, sMainPath, sizeof(sMainPath), "logs/blah/%s", sMainPath);

If the above was built globally, would it retain the original date even after the day changes?

If so, can I fix that by putting this in OnMapStart() ? (thus remaking the path each map change, and ensuring the path is up to date (no pun intended)

FormatTime(sMainPath, sizeof(sMainPath), "pt_%m-%d.log"); 
BuildPath(Path_SM, sMainPath, sizeof(sMainPath), "logs/blah/%s", sMainPath);

Or maybe just this?

FormatTime(sMainPath, sizeof(sMainPath), "pt_%m-%d.log");

Just a thought....

You wouldn't need to BuildPath every time (since SourceMod's location won't change directory), but since strings don't change automatically, you'd have to reformat the string into a new date every time you want to use it.
