Hi John,
These two handlers are what I use. The "theFormattedTime" can be omitted if
the hours, minutes and seconds are not necessary.
on posixFormattedDate(theDate)
set CCYY to theDate's year as text
set MM to (("00" & (theDate's month as number as text))'s text items -2
thru -1 as text)--works with Panther
set dd to (("00" & (theDate's day as text))'s text items -2 thru -1 as
text)
set theFormattedTime to my posixFormattedTime(theDate)
set theFormattedDate to ("" & CCYY & MM & dd & theFormattedTime)
return theFormattedDate
end posixFormattedDate
on posixFormattedTime(theDate)
set asTimeString to theDate's time string
--do translation
set oldTIDs to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
set posixTimeString to ("" & (asTimeString's text item 1) &
(asTimeString's text item 2) & "." & (asTimeString's text item 3))
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldTIDs
return posixTimeString
end posixFormattedTime
Peace,
paul
