Hello Mike,
Although I must admit that I like Andrew's solution better, just for
the hack of it, here's an AppleScript solution for naming the file
without using shell scripts:
set myDateString to "2/22/04" --can be many other forms of date
set nameSufix to "-da.csv"
set theDate to date myDateString
set yyyy to (year of theDate) as string
set mm to (month of theDate as number) as string
if (length of mm < 2) then set mm to "0" & mm
set dd to (day of theDate) as string
if (length of dd < 2) then set dd to "0" & dd
set fileName to yyyy & mm & dd & nameSufix
--> 20040222-da.csv
The only issue maybe asking for the month of theDate as number in 10.2.8
