is there a way of getting the date like so: "031230"
Here we go again:
set theDate to (current date)
set {year:y, day:d} to theDate
copy theDate to b
set b's month to January
text 3 thru 8 of ((y * 10000 + (b - 2500000 - theDate) div -2500000 *
100 + d) as string)
... or 'as Unicode text', if you prefer.
