How to get "Day of the Year"?

I need to add “Day of the Year” as part of an output file-name. How can I do that?

In the file name field you can use an expression which looks something like:

"myfile" + Date.now().toLocaleDateTimeString('{"format":"DDD"}') + '.json'

    Actually, the following is more efficient:

    "myfile" + Date.now().toLocaleDateTimeString({"format":"DDD"}) + '.json'

    (Single quotes removed around the format…)

    Ah, @cstewart that’s much easier.
