Any help will be appreciated.
The future is coming (one day sooner every day).
You've received two good answers, one of which slips in a reaction to the
following:
/ is not a good character to put into a Macintosh file name. As the Unix
path name separator, it *will* cause problems down the road.
(I started using YY-MM-DD in file names years ago, when A/UX came out.
A/UX: the OS you bought on a disk, rather than installing it.) The
YY-MM-DD sequence (or YYYY-MM-DD, although few people have Mac files from
before 1984, and even fewer from before 1992 sorts better in Finder.)
