Hello, list,
I need to convert the month from the current date to a 2-digit number. My purpose is to make a folder name, like 2003.07.19: that's why I aggregate the year, the month and the day on the last line.
In the pre-OS X years, I could do this with one line, like
set d to format_date_using((current date), ".", true, false, {"YY", "MM", "DD"})
The script below does the job, but does anybody have a better solution?
set d to (current date) as text
set m to word 2 of d
set y to "January February March April May June July August September October November December"
repeat with x from 1 to 12
if word x of y is equal to m then exit repeat
end repeat
set m to x as text
if length of m < 2 then set m to "0" & m
set d to word 4 of d & "." & m & "." & word 3 of d
