Is there a simple way to coerce "August 20, 2003" to 08/20/03?
I can figure out a complicated series of steps to do it "manually," I'm just
hoping someone knows a better way.
You can do it in the shell or with perl:
set d1 to "1/1/70"
set d2 to "August 20, 2003"
set d to (get date d2) - (get date d1) -- or (current date) - (get date d1)
do shell script "perl -e '@t = localtime " & d & ";
printf qq~d/d/d~, $t[4]+1,$t[3],$t[5] ;'"
