Re: getting the date

Subject: getting the date

Hi,

Iam trying to make a folder with the current date, Ive found that:

set days_date to current date

gives me the date and time in this format "date "Tuesday, 30
December, 2003 10.34.27am""

is there a way of getting the date like so: "031230"

If you're using OS X the easiest way is via the Unix "date" command:

set theDate to (do shell script "date +%y%m%d")
--> "031230"
