Basically, I would like to create a date - time stamp that ideally would
look like the following
IDEAL1: 01-06-03 09-23-21 AM (mm-dd-yy)
IDEAL2: 2003-01-06 09-23-21 AM (yyyy-mm-dd)
- This could be pasted in as a file name and would sort very cleanly
(leading zeros) and also be a PC friendly file name (without disallowed
characters)
Here's what I have so far:
IDEAL: 01-06-03 09-23-21 AM
... Currently my script listed below looks like:
Monday- January 6- 2003 09-23-21 AM
Question: Can anyone help me fix this?
hint:
I've been fooling with these commands
set showdate to theDate's date string
set showtime to theDate's time string
*** I imagine all I really need is to be able to get the numeric equivalents
for
set thisdate to ((the current date)
The day of thisdate (a number 1,2,3 etc.)
The month of thisdate (a number 1,2,3 etc.)
The year of thisdate (a number 2003 or 03)
=== start ===
set the message_text to ((the current date) as string)
set the message_text to replace_chars(message_text, ",", "-")
set the message_text to replace_chars(message_text, ":", "-")
on replace_chars(this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
set the item_list to every text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
set this_text to the item_list as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return this_text
end replace_chars
set the clipboard to message_text
=== end ===
Question: I would like to drop the Jaguar 10.2.3 Finder on AppleScript to
see its dictionary... But I don't know where is ... Do you?
BTW: last time I asked a while back, I was told and let the Finder for
Jaguar 10.2.x was not recordable. Is that still the case?
