I'm not quite following what you've said.

Here's what I tried

If    Hour           Is Now     12:00
Then  Text-A         T1<Stt     Month/Date
Then  Text-A         Set        ,
Then  Text-A         Set        <space>
[same thing for time]
Then  File-Item 1    Set        Text-Item 1
Then  Text-A         Set        Text-Item 1
Then  File-Item 2    Set        Text-item 2
Then  Text-A         Set        Text-Item 2
Then  Log-File       Set        Text-A

I think that's close... but it's not working yet...

If you set a FILE Item to a TEXT Item, ECS will
write that Text the the file.
