set s to ((date "Friday, December 24, 2004 3:00:00 PM") - (date "Thursday,
January 1, 1970 12:00:00 AM"))
set s to my Stringify(s)
do shell script "date -ur " & s & " \"+ %F %T\""
--> "2004-12-24 15:00:00"
to Stringify(X) -- for E+ numbers
set X to X as string
set {tids, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text
item delimiters, {"E+"}}
if (count (text items of X)) = 1 then
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {tids}
return X
else
set {n, z} to {text item 1 of X, (text item 2 of X) as integer}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {tids}
set i to character 1 of n
set decSepChar to character 2 of n -- "." or ","
set d to text 3 thru -1 of n
set l to count d
if l > z then
return (i & (text 1 thru z of d) & decSepChar & (text (z + 1)
thru -1 of d)) -- one line
else
repeat (z - l) times
set d to d & "0"
end repeat
return (i & d)
end if
end if
end Stringify
