I'm going to assume that you don't care about the exact time - so any time
on the 25th of a 30-day month will return "6 days" to the 1st of the next
month whether you're asking at midnight or at 10 pm. The version here is for
OS 9 and later.
set today to (current date)
set time of today to 0 -- midnight
set thisMonth to month of today
copy today to nextMonth
set monthList to {January, February, March, April, May, June, July,
August, September, October, November, December}
repeat with i from 1 to 12
if thisMonth = item i of monthList then
if i /= 12 then
set month of nextMonth to item (i + 1) of monthList
else
set month of nextMonth to January
set year of nextMonth to (year of today) + 1
end if
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set diff to (nextMonth - today) / days as integer
Or how about this:
set today to (current date)
copy today to nextMonth
set day of nextMonth to 28
set nextMonth to nextMonth + 4 * days
set day of nextMonth to 1
(nextMonth - today) / days div 1
-boo
