The following script code:
set entry_date to words 2 through 4 of message_date
Returns the following:
August: 26: 2002
Only because you have left AppleScript's text item delimiters at
{":"} at some previous stage instead of resetting the default:
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
-- This is what I get:
tell app "Outlook Express"
the time sent of the first message in the folder "Inbox"
--> date "Saturday, July 27, 2002 9:14:55 pm"
end
copy the words of ("" & the result) to {_1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, _8}
--> {"Saturday", "July", "27", "2002", "9", "14", "55", "pm"}
get _1 & ", " & _3 & space & _2
--> "Saturday, 27 July"
